Gilles' in Murray's R4 again , making it v. hard for me to cheer for Andy. Oh well....


[13] Gilles Simon (FRA) bye
Qualifier - Andreas Seppi (ITA)
Robin Haase (NED) - [WC] Marinko Matosevic (AUS)
[22] Jurgen Melzer (AUT) bye

[26] Milos Raonic (CAN) bye
Dudi Sela (ISR) - Qualifier
Alejandro Falla (COL) - Denis Istomin (UZB)
[4] Andy Murray (GBR) bye



Good luck Gilles.

Not a good draw I guess, Seppi on R2 might be dangerous, but the Italian form is really bad lately. Melzer latest form hasn't been excellent, but he won Memphis, that will be a tough match for Gilles if he gets there. Then Murray/Raonic on R4, let's see if Andy plays again as bad as he did in IW.

I don't think the draw is too bad. Obviously getting to the quarters again will be tough but he should get to the fourth round if he is playing well. It's possible Murray loses to Raonic but he'll probably be the underdog against either in the R16 if he gets there. Good luck!

i dont think he would prefer meeting the top 3 in the 4th round and the rest of the opponents are all beatable. and istomin was good at IW so who knows what could happen. thinking big for a change! we want SF at least :]]

[lalaland]

He's seeded 13th, so he's supposed to get Top 4 in 4th round. Obviously, based on the head-to-head, he's best match-up to Fed, and worse to Andy. I guess it was silver-lining that he's in Andy's route last tournament and Andy happened to lose early. Don't think it's happening again though. But facing Raonic is not much better. Then again, I'm ahead of myself, let's see if he gets to the 2nd week (his half plays first, so he should play R2 on friday and R3 on sunday). I want him to win the whole thing (why settle for SF ). I also want to be in Miami under the hot sun right now, but I'm still at work indoor just barely avoiding snow here. Sad!

Good luck Gillou . Please make 4R at least.

[Gilloulou]

sad words, cause winter is pretty much over here this week, i might just go to the beach :]

[lalaland]

Winter is pretty much over everywhere, except where I live . My heater is still blasting just 3 feet from me. It's even more annoying that on the national news, they are reporting heat-wave all around the country, and then the local news comes on and tell us there's a chance of snow.


Ahhh, Sorry for the rant. The weather is depressing me.

Double draw for Gilles/Nico:

MAHUT, Nicolas (FRA)/SIMON, Gilles (FRA)
ANDERSON, Kevin (RSA)/RAONIC, Milos (CAN)

DOLGOPOLOV, Alexandr (UKR)/MALISSE, Xavier (BEL)
3 LLODRA, Michael (FRA)/ZIMONJIC, Nenad (SRB)


So first round facing the 2 big servers, very hard. Good luck Team Frenchie.

At least he seems to be be much more competitive in doubles this year.

Good luck Gilles, I've never seen Bautista play so I have no idea what to expect which worries me a little bit.

Me too. I don't like my fave playing qualifier at the first place, those unknown one is even more worrisome. Just hope the good Gilles shows up.
