Andy needs to get to R3 to improve on his points and his p19. To get back to 16th, Andy needs to equal last year's final appearance. However, even winning it will not improve on that, as there is a large gap of 300 points between p15 and p16...
... that's not taking the other players into account!

It looks like only Tursunov and Verdasco of the players just below Andy are playing this week, and hopefully Tursunov is worn out after his DC heroics!
If he wins in the first round, he will not gain any points or places.
If he wins in the second round, he will gain 19 points, and will definitely gain back one place.
If he wins in the quarters, he will gain another 35 points, and will gain back another place, provided Ferrero goes out before the semis.
If he wins in the semi, he will gain another 45 points, and will gain back the final place lost, provided Nieminen goes out before the final.
If he wins in the final, he will gain another 55 points, and will not gain any further places, but will reduce the deficit to Ferrer in front to (only!) 220 points.
