Once again, Murray is in Federer's half, but once again should have a reasonably easy path, at least until the quarter finals.

Begins against either Dudi Sela or Nicolas Almagro, and then in round three one of Safin/Ginepri/Troicki/Stepanek, so you can't really see him not making the last eight.

Probably one of Del Potro or Verdasco in the quarter finals though which should be a good test for Murray.

Top half is stronger with Federer, Roddick, Murray and Del Potro in it.

According to the Monday review on the ATP site, Del Potro is not playing Cinci. I can't find confirmation of this anywhere else, but if true, I wonder what that will do to the draw? Andy was scheduled to play Del Boy in the quarters.

If Del Potro has withdrawn, which it looks like he has and they just haven't updated the drawsheet, then he'll be replaced by a lucky loser, which will be Julien Bennetaeu.

I'd imagine this would happen as the order of play had been published, so they can't re-jig the draw and all that.

All this works out nicelt for Murray and should make his route a little bit easier to the semi finals.

I've just pulled off a draw sheet, confirms Potty out due to fatigue and Benneteau in as lucky loser with a Bye for 1st round.

Verdasco losing today to Garcia-Lopez helps Andys cause also

Ferrer was up a break in the final set against Federer then collapsed.
