Week 12 - ATP Masters 1000 - Miami, USA (Hard)


Neither Federer or Nadal competing here so a good opportunity for Andy. He has RUP points from last year to defend

Possible opponents include

R2: Tomic

R3: Dimitrov

R4: Seppi / Janowicz

QF: Tsonga / Cilic

SF: Berdych / Gasquet

F: Djokovic / Ferrer / Del Potro

R2 and R3 look awkward - Dimitrov gave Novo a big scare for 30 mins at IW

Very tough draw compared to IW given no Fed and no Nadal. At least avoids Delpo.

Maybe, not the greatest of draws. But I wouldn't say that it's awful, and pretty negotiable ( to the final anyway, and then let's see if and when he gets there...) if Andy is in a fair bit better form here as I hope and anticipate that he will be.

Draw doesn't really worry me. If Andy plays well he will be fine at least till the SFs. If he doesn't play well it doesn't really matter who he gets.

Tomic got through, as someone correctly predicted.

Clips from a CNN interview with Ivan Lendl (the two lower down the page are about Andy) - http://bit.ly/16PkChH

The full interview should be on CNN Europe (available via Freesat, etc) at times over the next few days, on a programme called Talk Asia (yes, I haven't fathomed the Asian link either LOL) - the schedule is at http://bitly.com/tGy0M but I'm not sure when they stop showing the previous week's version and start showing the new one.

Also, Muzz handling a silly Miami radio interviewer rather well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkMxL_PVr3o

"Beating Federer for the first time......beating Federer for the first time.....beating Federer for the first time...."

Dig, dig, dig LOL

There's much about the US that I like including often their confidence, but that also leads interviwers to just go for it whatever their knowledge or otherwise.

Mo Farah "have you run much ?" LOL

Andy saves 3 (or was it 4) BPs while serving at *1-2 and then breaks Tomic to love in the next.

Come on Andy. *3-2

I got home just in time to watch Andy struggling to hold that service game - thank goodness he came through and then broke.

The potentially dangerous Janowicz who Andy might have played in round 4 has gone out.

Well, from what I saw on flashscores, that all looked fairly routine for Andy.

An straight forward 6-3 6-1 victory.
