Done.


I've gone for Andy in three.


The two have met once before, at nottingham this year. Andy won that 6-4 6-3 but it was a lot closer than the score suggests. Andy faced 4 break points but saved them all where as DT faced seven and managed to save 5. Andy was also serving a lot better then.....

Andy in three for me, though I wouldn't be all that surprised if Tursunov won in three, he is on form at the moment. I guess it depends which Andy and which Tursunov turn up!

Hopefully the 'Brad-Murray' and the 'knackered-Dimitri' turn up....

(Do not want the 'cantgetafirstservein-Murray' and then 'Henmanbasher-Tursonov')


Away to cricket now...playing in Perth.....its going to be 75F today !!!!

i think although murray has beaten at nottingham on grass, the hard court is the russians favourite, so with brads influence murray in 3, and a few tie breaks

Went for Andy in 3 and should be a very close match.. But if Andy does get quite a good 1st serve percentage than the last few rounds I could even see him winning this in straight sets.. 'Mon Andy!

Plus with Clement waiting in the final, I'd say it would be Andy's best ever chance if he gets past Tursunov here to get through and win his 2 career ATP title.

Brilliantly put!

I am not prepared to guess on this one... although I'd hope that BG's extra serve practice will at least spare us double faults...

But I do agree with Vonce that if he gets past the russian, he has a near certain chance of a second atp title.

I'm voting for Andy in straights. I feel his game matches up well with that of Tursunov. I expect he'll play his counter-punching style and there's a good chance that it will really frustrate Tursunov. Andy is so fast around the baseline and anticipates so well that it will be tough for Dmitry to hit through him. The Russian has been brought up on US hard courts and he's most at home when slogging from baseline to baseline trading topspin groundstrokes. Andy's going to take him into an area where he doesn't feel comfortable, mixing it up with slices and angles. I think he's also likely to try and get Dmitry in at the net as much as poss as he isn't the best of volleyers.

As I said in the Murray-Tursunov game style thread, the main worry for Andy is how Tursunov attacks his 2nd serve,

Looking forward to the commentary Bethan !

Ok, the coverage is just starting!


My internet at the moment disappears every now and then so if I stop sorry, I promise to return it takes a couple of mins to fix!
