Bye for Murray in Barcelona « on: April 25, 2008, 05:38:39 PM »

Andy Murray will be participating in the Open Sabadell Atlantico next week as a wildcard entry, seeded seventh.

The British number one exited the Monte Carlo Masters on Thursday in tame fashion at the hands of Novak Djokovic, and it seems that Murray wants more competitive matchplay on clay, before departing for Rome the week after.

Update: Andy Murray will take on either Mario Ancic or Mischa Zverev in round 2.

R2 > Ancic or Zverev
R3 > Almagro (expected)
QF > Blake (expected)
SF > Nadal (expected)
F > Ferrer (expected)

Some fan you are.

Some fan you are.

That's the 4th time you've said that to Amy in about a week. And she, by far, doesn't ask the stupidest questions. You have, in the past, asked for examples of when you deliberately pick on her for an argument. Well here you have it. Stop being so blooming patronising for once!

Rant over. Think this is a good thing, if even just for a bit of practice and confidence building. Even though he probably won't gain a huge amount, if anything point-wise it's a good replacement for Valencia. And he does like being in Barca. Very good plan indeed!
