Given what a tough week hes had Im wondering if Andy might pull out out of Dubai and go straight to Indian Wells? Otherwise it could be 3 hard weeks on the trot.

Well, he's still in the draw at the moment & plays "Hubi" (5).   

Stu Fraser's report in today's Times.  Includes a brief reference to Cam's win over Dellien.

If Andy is going to win this one, looks like it will be the hard way again!

 This was one comeback too far I guess but well done Andy all the same.

Sadly, not to be:

Final:  (3) Daniil Medvedev (***) WR 8 defeated (WC) Andy Murray WR 70 by 4 & 4

 Exactly the score I thought it would be. Very frustrating from Andy he missed a few chances and Medvedev showed his class with some fantastic clutch points. Key stage obviously for 4-4 second set 40-0 for Andy. 

Curious to see if he does play Dubai now though.

 If you bet 4 and 4 Id like the TIU to take a look at this result!

 Hubi playing SF in Marseille today too. If he wins that there's gotta be some doubt as to whether he would turn up either

---

Hubi duly reached the final, where he'll play the unseeded Frenchman, Benjamin Bonzi.

 Just being mischievous - does Hubert call himself Hubi? Apropos Wesley / Wes Kirkhof?

---

I don't know for certain that he calls himself "Hubi", but it's definitely his nickname.  I distinctly remember John McEnroe using it when he came to prominence at Wimbledon the year before last, so I'm happy to accept it.  I see now from Wesley Koolhof's personal bio on the ATP site that his nickname is in fact "Wes", so I also accept that, but I shan't be using it, as, while it's not at all unusual in the native English-speaking world, it seems very un-Dutch &, frankly, it grates on me.
