Good to get the win, and at least Andy has now added 90 points to his race total. Would have been the worst scenario if he had played 3 matches, ending with a long match against Anderson, and achieved nothing in particular but adding fatigue going into Paris.

Will be great if my slight doubts about Andy finally deciding to play Valencia proved very wrong. I would make Duracell Dave a slight favourite to win this time in their potential SF meeeting , but it would be sooo good if Andy could get to the final and even better win that final agianst what would be a non seeded opponent.

I forgot that Anderson is the king of chokes! 

I'd agree Ferrer might get revenge tomorrow, Andy must be a little tired after the long 3 setter today.

Oh, dear Heaven! Have you seen Andy's Paris draw? Djokovic in the quarters AGAIN! And probably, if he survived that, Ferrer in the semi AGAIN!

I've always thought the "fixed draw conspiracy" was rubbish, but I'm beginning to doubt. (Not really, but coincidences do seem to happen more often than you expect)

 It most likely puts an end to Raonic and to Dimitrov, so if Nadal does withdraw, I'd say that this likely cements Andy's place in the WTF?

Andy made a good start today, breaking Ferrer in the first game. *3-2

Andy a double break up in the second set, *3-0

Then handed one of them back. *3-2

 

You're right there, Bob.
