May aswell start talking about this now eh? since this is next week. Anyway, if Murray plays consistently well ie; first set against Haas or around that sort of form - no trouble reaching R4. Once there I dont think he'll go any further. What I'd like to see is Murray actually doing what he said he should have been doing against Haas and that is to be aggressive. I really hope his round 4 opponent is Davydenko.

Lets hope he can do a bit better in this one. I hope he wins a Masters Series soon.

I really want this to be his tournament. He'll have loads of friends around and he loves Miami. Resonable draw and we could see him go really far.

Hes been a bit all over the place this year and I don't know what to expect.

Well if he doesn't defend it, he'll drop in the rankings, possibly out of the top 20, but only for a short while, because he's defending absolutely nothing after this until after Wimbledon, so back in top 10 no prob if he plays at least his average during that time.

I think that will be a really good time and opportunity for him when it comes clay court season and Wimbledon.

Draws in around 3 hours - 2:20pm local time.
Andy will face:
Round 1: bye
Round 2: unseeded (so he could face Haas or Fish...)
Round 3: seed 17-24 (Gonzalez, Monaco, Karlovic, Moya, Hewitt, Ferrero, Ljubicic, Almagro)
Round 4: seed 1-4 (Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, Davydenko)
QF: seed 5-8 (Ferrer, Roddick, Nalbandian. Gasquet)

I would be a lot more worried about Ancic than Fish, who is probably one of the better draws.

Fish, who reached the final last week? Fish who was the only player to take a set off Djoko? Fish who beat Davydenko, Hewitt, Nalbandian and Federer? Rather then Ancic who lost in the second round to Ferrero?

Fish, who had one good week in over a year, Fish who served at way below 50%, who played 7 tough matches in just 10 days. Ancic, who missed more of last year than Andy, who has already beaten Tsonga, Gonzo and Baggy this year, who has won matches in every event he entered this year.
Fish will be too jaded and won't be able to play at the same level he played at this week.

And guess what, Ancic or Simon in Round 2
After that it's a good draw, claycourter Pico Monaco the other seed in his section and the same 1/8 as Davydenko. Ferrer is seeded be his opponent in the QF, but I'd back Youzhny to make it out of that section.

He's just not good enough I'm afraid. Won't defend his semi final from last year that's for sure, a further drop in the rankings looks likely.

You're probably right on that.
