I missed all the fun yesterday evening, as I was out for a meal, but by all accounts, Andy's going to have to raise his game a bit if he's to get the better of Montañés. That said, they've played one another twice this year, in the first rounds of both Doha & Indian Wells, & Andy's seen him off in straight sets. I'll go for the hat-trick - providing he doesn't have too prolonged a "wobble" at critical moments, that is!
Forgot to mention: the match will kick off at 14.00 GMT this afternoon, so I've absolutely no chance of watching any of the action! I'll be have to make do with regular checks on the old LS instead.

Good lad Andy A few blips but comfortable enough. Montanes gave his wrist a good workout as he seemed to be concentrating on Andy's backhand. Not something you expect, perhaps his reasoning was to play on the injury.
I got back from lunch with about 30 seconds to spare! Nicely timed
Was only able to see the second set. Andy seemed more comfortable than in his previous two matches and produced one or two brilliant pieces of play. Didn't have to push himself too hard to win.
