Week 41 - ATP 1000 - Shanghai (China) - Hard

steven · Tennis legend

Seven players have beaten Muzz this year - he has beaten three of them in the last 7 days, faces another (Rafa is responsible for 4 of Andy's 11 defeats in 2011) tomorrow ... and Bellucci is yet another one! (Nole and Kevin Anderson the other two)

RJA · Hall of fame

Andy has been denied his chance of yet more revenge.

Tursunov beat Bellucci in a close 3 set encounter.

Tomic just goes from strength to strength. He hasn't turned 19 yet and is already in the top 50 and will now go even higher next week.

I must say I like the way he plays - I have never been a fan of the ball-bashers, which is probably why I like Murray so much. And anybody putting Fish out gets my vote :)

Spectator · All-time great

Oh, I had rather wanted Fish to win. Nice to see someone getting rejuvenated and getting his career together, having shown so much early promise! Just goes to show: you can't please all the people all the time.

Tsonga is out as well.

Warwinka is through to round 3 to play the winner of this game.

That Fish/Tsonga section is now wide open.

Tursunov has been forced to pull out.

Nice bit of extra rest for Andy there.

But Wawrinka will have plenty of match practice and be used to the conditions. And he and Andy usually have tough matches.

Spectator · All-time great

Yes, not great in general to be facing Wawrinka in your first match ....

I think Andy has played enough tennis over the past two weeks for it not to be a problem. If it was his first event after a break I might be a bit worried.
