Week 33 - Cincinnati Masters (ATP 1000 Series) - R2: Andy vs Jérémy Chardy


Andy has played the world n° 58 once before, beating him by 4 & 2, in the opening round of the tournament he won on Sunday when it was played at the alternating venue of Montréal last year.  He may not be expecting to repeat his maiden Masters Series triumph in Cincy two years ago (beating NoDjo in the final), but there's surely no doubt that he'll progress to the third round in anything other than straight sets tomorrow...

Surely no doubt? Someone's tempting fate in a very cavalier fashion! LOL wink

I would like Andy to get a few matches then bow out gracefully in this one. Doing the Canada/Cinci double is pretty rare - and doing very well in both and then going on to do well in the USO is even rarer. USO has to take precedence, surely. Skipping it altogether last year, after being in the Canada final, did Delpo no harm at all. . .

Third match on stadium court so probably around 7.30-8.00 start.

Nadal stutters a bit before willing 6-2 7-5.

Murray on any time now. Let's hope he continues his superb French bashing streak.

Cavalier?  Certainly not.  Rash/precipitate perhaps.  I should have added ", can it?" after that row of full stops! wink

One minute Andy is serving for the match. The next - he's in danger of losing the second set

Oh dear.

Andy walzed through the first set then seemed to hit a brick wall.

When I said I didn't much want him to go deep this week, I didn't mean lose first match!

Turning out to be a case of who can play the least badly laughing.gif

Andy is serving better now, it's a pity he couldn't have done that last set - he would have been back in the locker room with a W.

Still, if he can keep holding this set now he has the break. . .
