Yeah Benjamin has quite a rise this year so far. He's done well in some challengers this year.. Reaching the Semis in Dallas, Finalist in Joplin & Valencia, USA, won in Salinas. But in his last 4 challengers he's only won 1 match which was his latest in Zagreb..

Refering to the qualies yeah not much of them should cause Andy much problems if he gets past Monfils in the 1st round except for the one's who have a bit experience. But I'd like to see Murray face Del Potro just see how good he is so far since his amazing rise in the rankings this season and last season.

Calleri....it counts apparently because he was a direct acceptance even though he pulled out before the draw.

Who ever wins between Andy and Monfils they will play either Dick Norman or Edgardo Massa.

Dick Norman ATP Rank 107 :

35yr old Belgian. Henman has had 2 easy wins before. Never played Greg. Arvind Parmar has a 3-2 record against him.


Edgardo Massa ATP Rank : 556.....highest ranking 91 in April 2005.

25yr old from Argentina. He retired hurt in April 2005 in the Bermuda Challanger and did not play again until this March when he beat Jamie Murray on his way to the Salina challanger QF.


Of the 2 I would rather he played Dick Norman....if he gets through of course

Yeah I'd expect Norman to win really.. But fair play to Massa for being ranked in the 500's and qualifying for a grand slam.. Norman has alot more experience than Massa of course and I'd expect he'd show it when they play but you never know Massa could spring a suprise.

But as for Andy I hope he does get past Monfils and makes it to the 2nd round as if he does then he'll no doubt be in my eye reaching the 3rd round at least..

The OOP for Monday is out and Murray is not playing. Rusedski is, so Murray must be having a Tuesday start!

another day, another problem with his body. what a strange match!...doesnt bode well for the coming grass court season when he'll be really in the spotlight. should never have dumped Petchey without a new coach lined up. Looks like he's losing his way

Disagree actually - I thought his tactics were pretty good to be honest. And what he's saying about wanting a new coach who can give him a big serve and teach him to volley better is exactly what he needs.

I know back problems and they aren't all down to fitness issues. He's had the problem for a few weeks and I'm sure it's something they will look at but the fact that he won a set while serving at half speed means he deserves a little credit for what he achieved. I think a lot of people would have retired injured.
