That's a tough first round draw!
Nah - Davydenko not the player he was 3 years ago but, overall, Andy looks like he's got a few big hitters. Maybe all the rain will slow them down

Touch the sky - and touch it he did.

so I read Murrays draw as this:
R1: Davydenko R2: Karlovic R3: Anderson R4: Cilic, Raonic? QF: Ferrer/Del Potro SF: Nadal
Who was it who said they hoped Andy would have a tough draw so that he hones his fighting spirit? Well they've got their wish. Still I'm glad Berdych isn't there. And Rafa is like a magnet drawing him in his half yet again.

They are saying on the radio that it's a hard draw for Andy but Davydenko is past his best.

A quick look at the H2K and it's 5-4 in Andy's favour. Not met since 2009 and Andy won their last encounter, in Montreal.

Fantastic draw for Andy, could not have been better. SF for sure. Davy is past it and will not be a threat. Ferrer and Delpy (fitness must be in doubt) cannot beat Andy on grass but will provide a nice warm-up for Nadal.
Tough draw my ass.

Here's a wild forecast.....Kolschreiber will be on fire and beat Rafa in R32!!

Of course Andy can beat him but no room for one of his slow starts methinks. And after that I fear for our blood pressure folks.

Davy wont beat Andy, why?
1. He's past his best; 2. HE HATES grass 3. He won't believe he can do it
