Lost to Querrey in Los Angeles, won Toronto and has now lost to Fish for the 3rd time in a row this year in Cincinnati
On to the US Open
He can defend the US Open R4 last year and get some major points here, and even win it

SFs: def. Feliciano LOPEZ (ESP) [4] 6-0 1-6 6-4
Fin: lt. Sam QUERREY (USA) [2] 7-5 6-7(2) 4-6
A disappointing week for Andy, struggled throughout the week with second set blips all over the place.
Had a match point against Querrey in the second, but couldn't convert, and ultimately lost the match
Hard-ish draw in Toronto, with Ferrer, Gulbis, Nalbandian and Soderling all in his quarter all of them possible quarterfinal opponents
Is defending his no.4 ranking and a title here
Toronto Masters, Ontario

2nd: def. Xavier MALISSE (BEL) 7-5 6-2
3rd: def. Gael MONFILS (FRA) [15] 6-2 0-6 6-3

SFs: def. Rafael NADAL (SPA) [1] 6-3 6-4
Fin: def. Roger FEDERER (SWI) [3] 7-5 7-5
Wins his 5th MS title, his first title of the year and 15th title overall
h2h vs. Federer is now 7-5, while his h2h vs. Nadal is now 4-8
Fuck yeah :rocker2:
Easy quarter on paper, in Cincinnati, but could be very difficult if he has lapses.
Cincinnati Masters, Ohio
1st: BYE
2nd: def. Jeremy CHARDY (FRA) 6-3 6-7(3) 6-2
3rd: def. Ernests GULBIS (LAT) 4-6 6-3 7-6(4)
QFs: lt. Mardy FISH (USA) [WC] 7-6(7) 1-6 6-7(5)
Very disappointing result, was close to winning.
He has now lost to Fish 3 fucking times in a row this year, which he shouldn't be doing
Anyway, has a week off now before US Open starts
On to the final slam of the year where he'll be seeded 4th :rocker2:
US Open, New York
1st: def. Lukas Lacko (SVK) 6-3 6-2 6-2

3rd: lt. Stanislas Wawrinka (SWI) [25] 7-6(3) 6-7(4) 3-6 3-6
Terrible, terrible performance against Wawrinka, but credit to Stanislas
So ends the American hardcourt season for Andy, and a pretty disappointing end.
On to the last part of the year - The Road to WTF
GL for the rest of the year, Andy
On to the US Open
