this tourny should go by the seeding. the top 4 seeds will most likely reach the semis and i think we'll see a murray-blake final.

I'm hopeful we will see Murray in the final, I would say semi's at the least.
Has he played since the Aussie Open? If he hasn't he should feel pretty refreshed.

No Trisco Andy has not played since the Aussie Open so its looking good for his chances the first couple of rounds Andy should have no problems but we will have to see.I would be pretty dissapointed if he didnt at least make the semis. :)

I can see blake losing early with potential encounters with Ivo "Giant Killer" Karlovic and On form Mardy fish!
Cant see any other upsets possibly Becker beating marat?

Good grief, I've just spotted this on the BBC:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/6300819.stm
It claims Murray hit a 145mph serve, and is also starting to develop a good serve and volley game!
Wouldn't surprise me if the tw*ts had got their facts wrong as usual regarding the fastest serve, but the serve and volley sounds interesting. I always thought he had a nice touch at the net.
Shall be following Mr. Murray a bit closer from now on :D

He mixed it up with a certain amount of s&v when he played Nadal at the Australian Open. You might say that Nadal was injured ;)2, but it certainly made for some interesting viewing. He is stronger now, hopefully he will be stronger still, and although you can hardly say that he is lithe, graceful, or fluid, his variety makes him IMHO a very good player to watch.

Yeah a great result for Andy and i wasnt that suprised Andy hit a 145MPH serve to be honest he was hitting them pretty big at the Aussie.Also Andy has always had a huge serve really i mean he was banging down the aces in his first pro tournament at Queens its just now he is getting more control with it and this means he has a higher first serve percentage which can only help him.

Yeah, his first serve % was pretty horrendous last year. I think it was regularly below 50% :yikes:
Mind you, he got great results with it ... so if he improves his consistency, it should only get better :ok:

Yeah you are right his serve was always around 35-40% which is pretty bad this year at times it has been around 70%. :)
