good to see andy get back at bogomolov for that loss in miami.
hopefully another win against ferrer or simon.

Getting better eh?

Yes, unlike some years in Cincinnati, Andy could do with every match he can get this week. for time on the court and hopefully steadily play himself into some form.

Don't forget Cinci was the scene of Andy's first Masters title win (in 2008). wink

Blimey! It's just taken Rafa (2) three hours 37 minutes & 51 seconds to subdue Nando (unseeded) in three tie-breaks, 7-6(5) 6-7(4) 7-6(9)!

A bit of a slog for Giles, so hopefully will be to Andy's benefit. Of course Andy still will want to step up a gear as Simon will still be a challenge. Good that he had a more straightforward victory today even if he was a bit in and out in the 2nd. Let's go Muzzah! biggrin

Strange - it looks right but actually clicking on it takes you to a different link to the one shown. Sometimes, I really despair of Activeboard and its quirks ... let's see if this one works any better: http://britishtennis.activeboard.com/t44518182/cincinnati-masters-qf-andy-murray-vs-gilles-simon/

It does, despite looking exactly the same. Doh!

Andy first on at 4pm our time on Granstand against Gilles, go Muzzah!

Well, with 7 of the top 8 seeds through to the quarter finals and the other being the number 10 seed, the top players certainly seem to have rather more brought their A games to Cincinnati as opposed to Montreal where they brought their "eh ?" games.
