Just beat Niemenenmeen 7-6 6-3 :thumbsup:
Great result that. Seems unlikely that he will get to the Shanghai masters unless he gets to semi or final. Next game is likely to be against Djokovic who is an excellent player but Murray on his day can beat anyone and he is in good form at the moment.Quote:

Murray is 2nd on Centre court.... so should be on about 12pm our time.
Murray is a set and two breaks up:thumbsup: against this french dude
6-4 3-0
Wins it 6-4 6-2:thumbsup:
Will play Blake or Gasquet in the next round... hopefully Gasquet:agree:
Well done Murray:thumbsup:
nice win for Murray, 6-4, 6-2.
Santoro is called the magician but it was murray that was pulling out all the clever shots. The boy is a class act.
Gasquet or Blake in the next round :thumbsup:
edit - I'm too slow
Cheers chaps :agree: Gasquet would be the preffered choice no doubt:agree:
and Gasquet is no push over either
but well done to him for beating Santoro :thumbsup:
Gasquet beat Blake 6-4 6-4.Quote:

Murray to beat Gasquet
Youzney to beat Haas
Baghdatis to beat Robredo
and Murray's done it!!!
Robredo is the only real big contender.. if he reaches semis, Murray has to reach final... Or if he reaches the final, Murray has to beat him....
Easy:greengrin
Some match on just now, Nalbandian 6-4 5-4 up on Federer and serving for the match.
Federer is out, Nalbandian won 6-4 7-6.
Another good result for Murray as he could have played Federer in the 1/2 finals.
Thats Haas out!
Youzhny won 6-4 1-6 6-3 :thumbsup:
Murray to win tomorrow and Robredo to lose :thumbsup:.... Murray aint on untill 8pm.
Murray - Gasquet has the potential to be a classic match. Gasquet similar to Murray in being young and very talented. The one game they have played Gasquet won it.
He has now passed Haas and Berdych into 10th place in the rankings provisionally ( although that will change to 11th if Gasquet beats him today) and will move to an all time high of 7th if he wins the event, taking the place of Blake. After missing so much of the season I reckon that is an incredible achievement.
What a launch pad for next season to break into the top 5 in the world.

Great news.
And Federer out is brilliant too as they where due to meet each other in the semi's.:cool:
Is that right? I thought he was too many points behind Blake and Robredo, but only just. Murray will get 500 points if he wins. But Robredo will have got a few and Blake still got 125 for reaching the QF's. Good if he does:thumbsup:Quote:

If Murray wins tonight, then he will be the leader:thumbsup: And will qualify if he, Nadal or Ferrer wins the tournament OR he reaches the final OR he reaches the semi's and Baghdatis fails to reach the final and Nadal beats Youzhny. I think thats right anyway.
So Nadal to win next please:greengrin
Blake didnt make the quarters so Murray is over him. With Robredo getting beat if Murray wins tonight he is in with a great shout of making it. Though he may also likely have to beat Nalbandian who may sneak in if he were to win the tournament I think. Looking good but hopefully he can win tonight as all other permutations are off if he doesnt.Quote:

If Nalbandian wins the tournament he will have 355 points in the ATP race. Robredo, provisionally in 8th (after todays result) has 353 points, so Nalbandian would overtake him. However, if Murray or Gasquet win tonight, then Nalbandian cant make 8th.
heres the info here....

Basically Murray has to win tonight, Nadal has to win today, and Baghdatis cant win the tounament. Anything better is a bonus :agree::thumbsup:
Thanks for that. :greengrinQuote:

I think that is how it is worked out:greengrin
Ach maybe, wasnt sure about defending points and stuff.... I just thought he'd get another 75 points. And Robredo will have some as well will he not??Quote:

Robredo will lose 100 pts cause he reached the semi last year so next week he will be on 1865 points. Andy will pass him if he reaches the finalQuote:
