Despite Pico Monaco's best efforts he'll have to continue his battle for supremacy over Andy Murray on the playstation not the tennis courts. The Argentinian put in a brave performance last night against Novak Djokovic but was beaten 6'0, 7'6(5).

So, Andy will be playing Nole in the Final.

Nole leads the H2H (http://www.atpworldtour.com/Players/Head-To-Head.aspx?pId=D643&oId=MC10) by 7-5 but if you take out 2 wins on clay they're 5-5 on hard courts.
Unfortunately, it's at the Grand Slams that the Serbian has got the better of Andy with 2 wins at the AO; in the Semi this year and the Final in 2011.

Djokovic has had a fairly straightforward run in this event; Bye in R1 and 2 set wins over Bagdhatis, Troicki, Gasquet, Ferrer and Monaco.
He's on course to defend his title unless Andy can stop him.
;)

Andy's route to the Final has been unusual to say the least ...
Bye, Falla, W/O, Simon, Tipsarevic, W/O (Nadal).

The lack of match practice at the higher levels of a Masters might work against Muzzah - although the 3-setter against Tipsy was a good test. On the plus side he'll have energy in the tank - all the more so because, as we know, Andy really ups his game against Rafa and that can leave a player a bit flat in the next round. Now he just has to be on tip-top form to post another win over Nole and lift the trophy on Sunday.

You can read a great analysis on the ATP website here (http://www.atpworldtour.com/News/Tennis/2012/03/13/Miami-Djokovic-Reaches-Fourth-Crandon-Park-Final.aspx) - written by Matt Fitzgerald.

There are some conflicting reports as to the time of the Mens Final.

The SE Open site has it scheduled for 12.30pm on Sunday + the WTA Doubles Final but there's likely to be various bits of razzamatazz first so 1pm local time is the likely start. The H2H header the ATP website says 1pm ET, 7pm CET (6pm UK) and this is borne out by David Law on twitter:

Sorry, final on Sunday will be 6pm, not 5.30pm. #Murray (https://twitter.com/#!/search/%23Murray) vs. #Djokovic (https://twitter.com/#!/search/%23Djokovic) on @BBC5LSX (https://twitter.com/#!/BBC5LSX), live commentary with me and @NeilHarmanTimes (https://twitter.com/#!/NeilHarmanTimes)

I'm quite surprised that Djoko is so much the bookies' favourite - I thought it might have been closer but then what do they know?

Andy has to be in the zone from the 1st minute because Nole has been such a good starter in his last couple of matches. I hope lack of matches won't affect Andy. GOOD LUCK ANDY!!!!!

interesting start time. djo has played a lot of evening/late games and i don't think he likes the heat as much as andy does.

Andy has played a lot less tennis than Novak this week so he should be fresh and up for the fight :yahoo:- but agree he will need to play his best tennis from the word go - no feeling your way into this match Andy !!! Best of luck to Andy - go get him !!!:yahoo:

I do not know if Andy wanting to retch in his match against Tipsy was just a momentary problem or something that might have continued e.g. a stomach bug, so all in all the lack of match practice but presumably full recovery rather than match practice but draining (Rafa and bug?) SF is probably better.

What will be interesting is the weather and particularly any wind.
It might be a case of who adapts quickest to the conditions, serves well and comes out with their A game.
Andy can win this and I hope he does. C'mon Andy!

I do not know if Andy wanting to retch in his match against Tipsy was just a momentary problem or something that might have continued e.g. a stomach bug,
When he was speaking to the doctor on court Andy said he'd felt ill during his previous match so I think it was a bug of some sort rather than his fluid intake. Jez and co are pretty good at managing that and they've been with Andy a while now so would have ironed out any problems of fliuid balance and Andy is well used to playing in the Florida weather. However, you never know how different conditions on the day might affect something thought normally not to be a a problem. I still think he had a mild form of the bug that had got at so many players in I/Wells.

Good point Sally. Due to the close proximity players are to eachother at the big events where there are lots in the draw, would they take any sort of medicine to help them avoid tummy bugs and the like? Is there a common routine/practice that Jez/Matt do at each tournament to prevent such problems, as of course Andy Ireland would do in relation to muscular issues?

Andy has beaten Djoko over 3 sets in both their meetings this year - he'll do it!

Think it's a bit of a different mindset over the best of 5 sets but clearly Andy has been a match for Nole recently, even if he has yet to beat him in a slam. The match in Rome last year was also very tight at the time when Djokovic had that amazing run and whilst Nole wasn't 100% fit in Cincinatti and retired, Murray put him under pressure there. We shouldn't read too much into it but Andy has emerged victorious thus far in all of their Masters finals. However, think Nole will have a better start that he did in Dubai and Andy will have to up his level here from the previous matches but sure he can rise to the challenge! Hopefully the lack of matches won't be significant, fingers crossed!

davech
01-04-2012, 12:05
It's hard to know whether the lack of matches is a net advantage or disadvantage, IMO. On the plus side, he's not going to be tired and should have fewer niggles than if he'd played every round. On the minus side, he's had less match practice. I seem to remember a tennis commentator saying that match practice is by far the most important - but then again, that might've been Barry Cowan...

The weather conditions in Miami are going to add to the fun and games tonight.
Neil Harman tweets about the tornadoes last night and rain just now.

16hrs ago:

Tornadoes in the Miami area. It has gone so dark you can barely see across the street
Sirens going off everywhere, suddenly the streets are ankle deep in water
http://yfrog.com/5dyj09j (http://t.co/Atc6OxrK) Half an hour ago this was blue
We're told it's going to be fine, but very warm.
Murray comes here to train in these conditions so hopefully that will help.

YTD 14-2 Nole (lost to Andy and Isner), Andy 14-3 (lost to Nole, Federer and Garcia Lopes (before this week - presumably it is now 18-2 and 16-3)

I haven't seen all the tennis this week but from what I have seen, "special" Andy playing most of a match at his best has yet to emerge. He may be saving that for today. Or not. I hope so of course.
What Nole has been doing this week is somethings playing really well then taking his eye off the ball. He won't do that with an opponent like Andy, even more so after their last match.

Just hope Andy can find those extra gears he tends to find against the other top four, then this might be a cracker.

It might be a cagey start and as I said before, conditions and adapting to them may play a part. Big plus of course is Lendl is in da house!
C'mon Andy!

If the conditions are humid that can only favour Andy. Novak has played most of his matches in the evening session or at least the late afternoon. He hates hot humid weather.

Get him running Andy, keep up the first serve percentage, return well.....and hold the trophy high :trophy:

Agree with your points David! However, Nole has played 5 matches in Miami and Andy 3

Agree with your points David! However, Nole has played 5 matches in Miami and Andy 3 so currently the YTD will stand at 19-2 and 17-3 respectively.

Broken again :sad:. Think this set is gone sadly.

I'm not really enjoying this now.....

KnightOwl
01-04-2012, 17:56
Ouch! Well, I guess this set is largely over :sad:

JennieF
01-04-2012, 17:56
:sad: What's the score? I'm just going to have to follow the thread with you all. No luck with lemon live stream.

Maybe but if Novak takes this set on his serve Andy'll kick off the next set.

Mandiemoo
01-04-2012, 17:58
Djoker has put his foot down here, I'm not happy.

Jan
01-04-2012, 17:58
have to say Nole is playing brilliantly

-J-
01-04-2012, 17:59
Maybe but if Novak takes this set on his serve Andy'll kick off the next set.dont like andy serving 1st but academic anyhow

Manaus
01-04-2012, 17:59
Breadstick it is. :sad: Come on Andy, forget about it, regroup and come out focussed.

traveller7
01-04-2012, 17:59
6-1 to Nole ouch

SamP
01-04-2012, 18:00
I know he's not match sharp, but I hate the way Andy has played here, not a bit of variation from him, just thrash thrash thrash. Some of it is kind of ugly.

sophie900607
01-04-2012, 18:00
Hmmm, that was fast... Come on Andy, concentrate, reduce the number of your mistakes, hold serve and it will get better! I believe in you!

Linda
01-04-2012, 18:00
Look on the bright side - Nole took the first set against Monaco 6-0 but then it was a very tight second set. Same happened with Nole v Ferrer. So look out for Nole to have a wobble in the second - hopefully Andy can take advantage.

Mandiemoo
01-04-2012, 18:01
Pity they dont have half time like in football, Lendl would surely give Andy a rocket after that¬

JAMES4578
01-04-2012, 18:02
Certainly not the start Andy wanted, really must find his game in the 2nd! Nole looking pretty confident though.

-J-
01-04-2012, 18:02
just so hard to hit balls passed nole

I agree Sam; seems to be little or no strategy at the moment.
I'm surprised too that Andy hasn't done something to shorten the rallies because he's losing most of them!!!

He really needs to get on top early in this set ..... and the longer it goes on the more I think Nole will struggle physically.

Sallydaisy
01-04-2012, 18:03
0-30 .......
:sofa:

Mandiemoo
01-04-2012, 18:03

Manaus

Tough game but manages to hold. Come on Andy, need to get going and a break would be a great start.

traveller7
01-04-2012, 18:09

-J-
01-04-2012, 18:20

Elenive
01-04-2012, 18:21
Not wanting a rollercoaster game here, but if that's the way Andy is to win - bring it :p

-J-
01-04-2012, 18:23

JAMES4578
01-04-2012, 18:23
Unfortunately Andy couldn't make an impression on Nole's delivery, needs an easier hold here!

-J-
01-04-2012, 18:24

Manaus
01-04-2012, 18:32

Absolutely, another tough game but Andy 3-2 up and can hopefully rise to the challenge!

Elenive
01-04-2012, 18:34
Keep holding and get the break, then the match can completely change around in Andy's favour, anything's possible at this point!

Sallydaisy
01-04-2012, 18:34
Andy needs to be an agressive alligator to win this ............
