Playing each other once again next week in Cincy in R1.. Who could have thought of it eh? I'd have to say Andy in 3 just like in Toronto this week, good luck to whoever wins this tie as I've typed in another thread they have a possible meeting with the Fed Express. Once again will someone do the poll please?

Coming from someone who started the Murray - Nieminen thread before Niemenen had even played his match.
I think this is going to be a tight match. I think Andy might be a bit knackered after the last couple of weeks but the prospect of playing Federer might give him the adreneline burst to get through.
I think it will go to three and I'll say Andy will win it, although I think I really give Tim the edge in this match.
Andy Murray says he expects to face more of a challenge from Tim Henman when they meet for the second time in a week in Cincinnati later this week.
Murray won 6-2 7-6 (7-3) when they met in Toronto, and the draw means the winner in Cincinnati is likely to face Roger Federer in round two.
"His preparation will probably be a bit better for the match," said Murray.
"He is experienced enough to know what happened earlier on in the week and I'm sure he'll change a few things."
Murray has won both their previous meetings, and kept up his recent good form by going on to reach the semi-finals of the Masters Series event in Toronto, before losing to Richard Gasquet.
"The way Tim plays is tough to play against. You don't see it too often nowadays," said Murray.
"Tim plays really flat, whereas Gasquet plays with a lot of spin, plays from the baseline.
"Tim will be pretty close to the baseline and trying to come into the net as much as possible. It's going to be a tough match, for sure."
