Week 1 - ATP 250 - Doha, Qatar - hard (Andy)
Permalink  

Separate threads for Muzz (in the Andy Murray section) and other Brits (in the men's section) are going to become a bit silly if the other Brits start regularly playing the same tournaments as him, but for the time being that is likely to remain a rare occurrence, so:

L32: (3) Andy Murray v (WC) Mousa Shana Zayed (QAT) WR 2129 (CH 1668 in 2012)

Yes, this is the same Mousa Zayed who got thrashed 0 & 1 by Liam then double bagelled by Scott Clayton in successive Doha Futures earlier this month! To think some people claim the LTA give out wild cards to Brits too easily ... though Zayed is the Qatari no. 2 at the moment!

Andy's potential route to the title is:

R1: Zayed
R2: Przysiezny or F Mayer
QF: (8) Verdasco
SF: (2) Ferrer / (5) Gasquet (Monfils in that quarter too)
FI: (1) Rafa or (4) Berdych

I see that Andy is playing the doubles too, with Zimonjic, against the Germans, Brands and Mayer.

Does Andy normally do the doubles or is this extra match practice ?

At 5-5 in the TB, M&Z challenge the first serve - successful - now called out. Then challenge the second serve - successful - now called out and so DF. So now SP, which they win !

Now the MTB !!!

Good stuff. Good to have such a run out given he better not be having much of a run out in his R1 singles.

I remember Zimonjic winning a doubles title with Tim Henman back in the day. Not sure where, but they paired up and I noticed them in the draw and they won it all. I think it was a masters event. I hope Andy has a similar run this week.

Good also to get some doubles matchplay in prior to the Davis Cup.

Stats suggest Andy really struggling on his 2nd serve. He has lost 4/5 points wink

Andy scrapes home 6-0 6-0. 100% points won when first serve went in.
