Decent draw. If I remember right, Andy has a few points to defend from this tournament last year. So come on Andy, no Brit has won the MS at Wimbledon for almost 12 months now.

It should certainly be an experience for Dan Smethurst.

While, I am certainly not one to be for just turning up and enjoying the experience, life could be worse.

Dan is having easily the best tennis year of his life. He has received main draw WCs here for both singles and doubles. He now gets an opportunity to play a big name, but one, relative to his status, with a pretty appalling return of serve record, so a real chance to get a foothold in the match. I most certainly do anticipate an Isner victory, but it could be worse ( eg. facing a less heralded player, ranked about 50 to 60, but with a very good all round game and simply too good for Dan ).

I think the best factor of the draw is that Andy has been drawn with perhaps the easiest QF opponent besides Milos? I would not want Andy against Stan nor Berdych at the QFs considering how hit and miss his form could be. Of course, Ferrer is no joke on the grass but it's his weakest surface from what I can remember.

 

Edit: Upon looking at the draw, I have a feeling that Dimitrov could become Andy's QF opponent if he plays like he can, which would be a fairly different proposition.

Disagree. Think Muzza will play Evo in the QF

Andy's match is at 1pm. BBC 1 doesn't start until 1.45, so it will have to start on BBC2, I suppose. But I bet they move over to BBC1 as soon as they can. How to make life difficult for people trying to record. . .

71% first serve percentage.

Comfortable, thank heavens. Hopefully the next match against Rola won't be a Rola-coaster, either.
