Week 19 - ATP 1000 - Rome (Clay)
Permalink  

Muzzinator's back in action after his semi-decent performance on the clay in Madrid, unfortunately he ran into a red-hot Bellucci who has made his way to the semis. The draw for Rome is out and Andy has a fairly good draw compared to the others. For a neutral this is a fantastic draw, so many good matches so early.

 ... unless you're a neutral playing BOTB, in which case it's a nightmare! wink

Nadal's draw has got to be just about the worst: possibly Bellucci, Llodra (say), Ferrer, Federer, Djokovic? Ouch.

Bellucci picked up an injury during the match against Djoker today, so his participation in Rome is dubious.

R32: (4) Andy Murray WR 4 v Xavier Malisse (BEL) WR 41

Malisse beat Garcia-Lopez by 5 and 2 to reach the 2nd round. The Belgian has had a pretty decent year so far, highlighted by a Final in Chennai (l to Wawrinka) and making the R32 of the Aussie Open (l to Federer). He got to the R16 last week in Madrid (beating Hanescu and Lu before losing to Federer).

H2H is 2-0 on the ATP tour with Murray winning 4, 2 and 2 in the R64 of Wimbledon 2008 and beating Malisse 5 and 2 in the R32 of Toronto last year.

Good match up for Murray, Malisse isn't overly great on clay and his wins last week were against poor players.

If Murray wins that he's got Troicki (H2H 3-0) or Starace (H2H 1-0) who is up a set and a break against Dolgo, can't really ask for a better route to the quarters of a Masters series than that, hope Andy utilises that!

And then promptly drops his first service game. Typical Murraycoaster.

5-2* in 3rd but certainly not easily - alot of faffing about. Erratic.
