I've said it before but I really hope Andy can get a W on his breakdown by the end of the year. This is probably his best shot at it and even though the draw is perhaps tough for a 250, he's now virtually the top seed and I really hope he pushes on and wins the tournament. Not the most ranking points but confidence-wise, it could be big.
Job done. Let's hope he finds his first serve for the semi against Monaco, and hopefully the final. He seemed almost always to win the point when he got the first serve in - he just didn't get it in often enough.
QF: (2/WC) Andy Murray WR 11 beat Lukas Lacko (SVK) WR 85 (CH 44 in 2013) by 3 & 5
SF: (2/WC) Andy Murray WR 11 v Juan Mónaco (ARG) WR 97 (CH 10 in 2012)
H2H 2-2, 2-1 on hard courts. They last met (twice on hard courts) in 2010, when Andy won another SF in China (Shanghai) 4 & 1 only to lose in 3 sets in Valencia the following month.
