Week 44 - ATP 500 Series - Singles - Valencia, Spain

The Magician Santoro · Top national player

Roddick has withdrawn

The Magician Santoro · Top national player

Also Del Potro is out of Vienna, So up to Murray to make it as difficult for Del P to overtake Murray

Drew · Oct 31, 2009

Thanks for that TMS.

Draw is out

R32: Murray, Andy (GBR) v WC GIMENO-TRAVER, Daniel (ESP)

Well that could not have been better.

Either Mayer or Andreev in R16 and possibly Ferrer in QF.

Verdasco / Robredo potential SF opponents

Davydenko second seed has the french trio of Simon, Tsonga and Monfils is his half.

Andy played GIMENO-TRAVER in the QF of Spain F6 in 2005 and lost 4 & 3.

The Spaniard is currently ranked 75 (Career high) though and has not reached the heights that Murray has obviously reached. Was a good junior with wins of Djokovic, Bagdahtis and Tsonga.

Andy should win with bags to spare.

I predict 6-4 6-2

The Magician Santoro · Top national player

Andy got a pretty good draw, all the tricky players aren't in his half

Andreev, Ferrer and Verdasco havn't been playing well as of late

So i' predicting Andy to at least get to the final and should win it, providing his wrist holds up

The Magician Santoro · Top national player

Tsonga has a nightmare draw btw

Andy is 5th on court tomorrow, with the third match not before 2pm (1pm here?)

So late afternoon/early evening presumably.

Probably back to the joys of live-score as I don't think there is any tv or livestream coverage anywhere until Thursday cry

Madeline · Admin:Moderator + Tennis Legend

Aha! Found livestream, currently showing Garcia-Lopez v Greul.
