The circus now moves to Miami and Andy Murray is already there for today's Nasdaq-100 draw. The Scot will this week play in his second consecutive Masters Series event, in Key Biscayne, a tournament which likes to be known as "the fifth grand slam" because it offers more prize money than the other eight elite series tournaments.
Like all the events in that band it offers the volume of ranking points which mean that a successful week can have more effect on a player's standing than several weeks of good results in ordinary ATP Tour tournaments. "It's another big learning experience for me," said Murray. "Hopefully I'll get a chance to go a bit deeper [in the tournament] if I get an easier draw than I got in Indian Wells."
The draw for the tournament, which starts on Wednesday, will have a huge bearing on Murray's chances. He will have to play one of the 32 seeds in the second round and will hope he meets someone a little more vulnerable than Nikolay Davydenko, the world No5, who beat him in three sets at the same stage in Indian Wells last week.
Miami is the last stop in what has been an eventful swing of tournaments in the United States for Murray. He arrived last month after an unsettled few weeks, then won his first ATP Tour title in San Jose, beating Lleyton Hewitt and Andy Roddick. From there he put in a sterling effort to reach the quarter-finals in Memphis, lost to Tommy Robredo in the windswept first-round in Las Vegas and managed to win a round in Indian Wells before running into Davydenko.
Even if he does not win a set in Miami, Murray's Stateside experience will have been a huge success. He says he does not know what to expect when he returns to Britain, given the attention his victory in San Jose earned him. "I've been in America and I've not really had too much hassle," he said. "I think back home it might have changed a little bit."
Andy plays Wawrinka in round 1 with Fernando Gonzalez waiting for the winner. Agassi or Kiefer would be likely 3rd matches with Nadel his most likely QF opponent.
Henman has the draw from hell. Safin in round 1 with Hewitt to play the winner.

Yep, You are right. I misread the draw.
Anyway it's not a bad a draw. Three winnable matches and even Nadal is far from unbeatable away from a clay court.
It's rough luck for Henman. He looks like sliding even further down the rankings

I agree with you re what Andy's potential first 4 rounds' opponents are. I'm not sure there would be a 5th round if he got as far as meeting Nadal ! However, I'd certainly take getting through 3 rounds and then a chance to match up with Nadal.
Yeah, Henman's draw . Think this could be the last Masters Series tournament that he gets automatic entry to for a while. If he loses to Safin, he'd probably drop to a mid 60s ranking and I think the European clay Masters Series tournaments have fields of 64, so once you subtract for WCs and qualifiers, it doesn't look good. I'm presuming the automatic entries for these will not be decided until after Miami.
