OEM's been a busy boy overnight.  Not only has he reported on James Ward's new career high as a result of his win in Vancouver, he's also come up with a more extensive article on a few key changes in Andy's preparations for the US hard court circuit in the last ten weeks.  In addition to training in gruelling conditions down in Miami (temperatures up to 100°F & 100% humidity! ), he's made some significant changes to his diet:  "... the 24-year-old has adhered to a strict intake that has all the hallmarks of the gluten-free approach that helped Novak Djokovic to a Wimbledon title, the world No 1 ranking and 52 wins from 53 matches after last year's Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in London."

The lad clearly hasn't been sitting on his laurels!  He's quoted as saying that the new regimen has been "a great benefit" & says he's already sleeping a lot better.

A couple of other snippets:  Team Murray has acquired a new & "as yet unnamed" member recommended to him by his physio, Andy Ireland, & he has no intention of appointing a coach in the near future.

I went gluten free for two months last year and not only did I not add to my Grand Slam total but became quite weak, before I decided I had had enough. But I guess Andy has a few good dietitians and better recipes at hand!

Andy loses the first set by 3-6. 

Early break should have been recovered, but BPs squandered:  *1-3.
