Weeks 12/13 - Miami Masters - R2: Andy vs Mardy Fish


The head-to-head is 3-1 in Andy's favour, with Fish winning their first-ever encounter in Indianapolis in 2005 in three sets, but failing to take another set off him since.  Their most recent meeting was in the QF at Queen's last year, when Andy, the eventual champion, won by 5 & 3.  I see no reason to expect an upset here...

Hmm... The upsets are starting already!  First Olivier Rochus (a not very famous Belgian! wink ) dumps out NoDjo (2) by 6-2 6-7(7) (BPs wasted!) 6-4 (served for match at 5-3) in 2 hours 55 minutes. disbelief Then James "the Flake" Blake bombs out to the Brazilian, Thomaz Bellucci, by 6-3 1-6 2-6!  For the record, those two play one another in Round 3.

The winner of Bellucci / Rochus will play the winner of Almagro / Chardy after Chardy beat Querrey in another shock.

I'm guessing that Almagro is rather pleased just now at having being jettisoned into this spot in the draw in place of the absent Monfils  smile

Andy lost 6-4 6-4, and his playing was - to put it mildly - pathetic and his attitude matched.

I'm normally the first to make excuses for Andy, but the excuses are wearing thin. He just doesn't look like he wants to be playing tennis at the moment.

That was the worst I have ever seen Andy...his groundshots were just terrible.

I think he has not been the same since Aus Open

I did notice he looked kind of off-colour at Indian Wells... and I don't mean ill, I mean just out of sorts... but he got far enough and it was the kind of surprising occurence that I simply put it down to one of those random upsets that come round occasionally. However, two tournaments in a row?! And this was his first match (yeah, 2nd round, but bye in 1st of course)?!?!

Oh dear oh dear... I worry for Andy now! I had no idea he was this upset. *wrings hands* And the clay court season is coming up... I hate to think about the many points he was defending at IW and here in Miami, is that going to affect his ranking? Surely Rafa will be surpassing him now and he'll be back at no 4 now?
