I did say 'arguably'! If you'd have asked me before hand for what i would want the least, this combination would have probably been it for me!
My point for the 'manage' business was more that it sounds like he was dealt a bit of luck by not meeting a top 5 player, but thats not true... The truth is, the reason you probably wrote 'manage' was because you thought originally he only met Fed in the semis. That would then have been extremely lucky, not to meet a top 5 to the semis (it would have been so lucky because its impossible - you have to be one of the top 4 not to meet a top 4 till the semis!)

I was kidding. Hence the lol

That was kind of my way of acknowledging my mistake.

Draws......shmawz. If he wants to be top 5 he'll have to beat this lot regularly.....and has done. He damn near pwns A-Rod on his day and Fed will be torn between vengeance and sh*ttin himself (nothin to do with the mono Whistle

) I think we'll see Muzza raise his game here. cmon yeah

I hope so. This could very well be where he makes his mark. Show everyone he deserves that place in the top 5.

Yeah, count the heads.

I figure he should have the edge in all those matches, though there's at least a 25% chance of him blowing any one of them (including Safin).
So I guess I'm saying I think he's only got a 42% chance of even getting to play Fedex (not counting the chance Fedex blows it again and doesn't get that far).

Gosh, that sounds a bit negative.

Sorry.

Andy will win.

This time I'm not looking any further forward than his first match, then I won't be disappointed, if he doesn't get to play Roddick or Federer.

But we SHOULD be disappointed. Because this is how he should be performing in Masters. He has to at least reach his seeded position. And if we think he's top 4 material he needs to make the semis.

I'm surprised no one has mentoned Safin
if he's on a good day and Andy is in passive mood it could be very tricky for him
like the last time they played.
If Safin gets to 2nd round that is...both very unpredictable players
