Week 32 - ATP Masters 1000 - Montréal, Canada (Hard)


L32: (2) Andy Murray WR 2 v Grigor Dimitrov (BUL) WR 32 (CH 26 in May) or Marcel Granollers (ESP) WR 53 (CH 19 in 2012)

Andy is in the same quarter as del Potro but the opposite half to Nole & Rafa.

Good to be in the opposite half of Nadal but otherwise a pretty unfriendly draw. Dimitrov will be a tough first match after not playing for a month.

Not a nice draw at all. Full of potential mines, but if Murray wants to be able to push for the No.1 spot then he needs to be dealing with these draws well.

Yes, a case of copying a previous title and forgetting to change that bit! disbelief

Potentially pretty tough draw, although of course potential draws can fall apart.

I know that opinion on this site is normally against Andy playing doubles but after a few weeks off it maybe helpful, especially if he plays his first round doubles before his opening singles match.

bad news for Andy as he is not on the order of play for Tuesday for his doubles so he will have to play back to back on wednesday

Was never in doubt as his and Colin's opponents played the Washington final on Sunday. Back to back matches won't be a problem but Andy would surely have liked a doubles match as a warm up.

Granollers seems a mixed bag. His preference is clearly clay, but his two biggest victories to date are back-to-back Valencia Open's (500) from 2011-2012 on the hard. He's a tidy player but shouldn't be too troubling for Andy tomorrow.

Murray is first on centre tomorrow at noon local, which I believe is first up on the Sky Sports coverage.

Looks like it's Granollers for Murray after a 4 & 4.
