Didn't Andy have a difficult match with Llodra here in 08, though?

Llodra comes through in straight sets

7-6, 6-4, 6-4 smile

A four setter in the second round. I doubt he will make the QF anyway.

Well I'm very impressed!!! Fortydeucetwits tweeted it was so hot she was having troubling breathing even in the shade. No such problems for Andy - great win, great play.

No complaints at all. He did everything you could ask of someone in the first round.

I told you Andy would be ok in the heat. 109 degrees it was at one point, Sky said (no, I haven't suddenly got Sky, but I found a livestream of their coverage)

Llodra should be no match for Andy...great result to see Berdych out early !

Murray said the match was "tougher than the scoreline suggests" which I think is true. Lucko deserved a more respectable looking scoreline. Murray also described the conditions as "brutal".

As for the weather. At 8PM local time a Tropical Storm watch was initiated along the New York coast. This means that Tropical Storm winds (39mph-73mph) are expected within 48 hours.

So he was basically suffering from a lack of luck. Maybe he should change his name

roddick out in four sets, thought he would do well here. Federer starting to get a bit of a cakewalk draw to the final, only djok davy and sod any threat, and all look a bit dodgy

Roddick's record here is surprisingly poor since. Since winning the title in 2003 he has only gone past the QF's once.
