I initially thought it was a bad draw, but having looked at the whole draw, it's pretty good.

Not a bad draw. Don't want to think too far ahead but I think it went pretty well, although Anderson could be tough.

Yes, but one of the lower seeds that he could have met at that point.

That's true, I would probably prefer Anderson to Isner regarding big servers.

6-3 with 3 breaks leaves Andy serving first in the second set - always better I think.

Not if you get broken in the first game though. cry

Ok if you break straight back - it's better at the end of the set, when if serving second and you get broken that's it, you're out!

Andy takes it 6-3 6-3.

H2H 1-2 - Andy won 7-6(11) 6-4 in Monte Carlo in 2009 but lost in straight sets in Canada in 2007 and on Davis Cup this year

Shhh · Challenger level

Its great that Andy is winning matches again but, the 2nd serve is not showing any signs of being strong enough to get back to where he was a year or so ago.

Sim · County player

More good news for Andy as Berdych loses to Andujar.
