You get 5 points for each world group playoff win, hardly significant for Andy.

I think that's it for today folks.

Two matches for Nalbandian or Davydenko, and Rafa or Lapentti tomorrow, ouch.

Lets hope Fat Dave and Davydenko have a slug fest first thing out and Andy finishes up 7-6 6-0.

Quick question to everyone, does anyone here rank clay as their favourite surface?

I like the unpredictability of the results and the long rallies, but it doesn't allow for as much variety in playing styles.

hehehe racket slinging

sweet sweet muggery

mmm errorlicious

I still think he'll win, but Fognini is not the mug he was made out to be pre-match.

*looks around innocently*

He's getting outgunned on the baseline, he'll have to come up with someone.

I liked the aggressiveness from Andy on the break points.

I hope it doesn't stay this low key, I don't think it suits Andy.

error strewn start

Surely federror has to get it together and win that one, combined 8 winners and 20 errors in 9 games, shocking.

He's beaten Berdych and Cilic so far this week, I agree Andy has the tools to win comfortably but I think this might be tight.

I hear Cillic tanked majorly but I don't know about the Berdych result. On paper it does looks like a good run but I can't see him having the weapons to consistently break down Andy's defence, on any surface.
