Andy's 5th bad draw of the year: Tsonga round 1 Aus, Haase r1 Rotterdam, Ancic r2 Miami, Djokovic r3 Valencia and now faces Ancic again in r2 this week.
Is this a setup?  Think

Haase was not a bad draw. Haase was a sh*t match by andy.

He also had chances to beat Tsonga, although i'll admit, that was probably the worst player he could get. Ancic is more than beatable if Andy shows up.
As for Djoko in R3 last week, well that's Andy's own fault for letting his ranking slip. He still would have lost to any of the other top 4 anyway the way he was playing.

Well Haase & Tsonga are 2 of the biggest hitters in the game, all to whom Andy is particularly vurnerable, Djokovic is outright Andy's worst opponent (his record aginst him is uncomparable to those against any other player) and if you look at this week's draw (and in Miami), Ancic is also by far the worst player for Andy to come across (he's a former top 10 player).

Andy's a former top 10 player, too.

Haase is sh*t. Murray should have destroyed him in Rotterdam. And so what if Ancic is a former top 10 player. He's more than beatable with his current form. Murray should be making the SF's here if he's playing to what he is capable off. Sure it's a tough draw, personally I'm more worried about Almagro in R3, but he should still be able to beat him.

Of course he can beat Ancic , but can you still admit that the Croat is and was the worst player for Murray to be drawn against?
As for Haase, well the Scott has always struggled aginst hard-hitting players like the dutchman - check his poor records against Baghdatis, Tsonga, Ljubicic or Wawrinka to see what I mean (www.atptennis.com).

Yeah, among the worst R2 opponents sure. Only Volandri might compare really. But Andy shouldn't have to worry about R1 or R2 opponents in any tournaments. Not really.

Wish you were right. Andy's lost twice to first round opponents this year, and to Ancic in 2nd r.
Also I forgot to mention, last year in Paris Bercy he was due to face Djokovic in r2, the tournament which was crucial to his access to the masters cup in Shanghai;
he didn't play him, nor did he qualify, but still... yuk
