British Test for Andy

Standing in the way of Andy and a place in the SAP Open final, is Great Britain’s young Andy Murray. There has been much hype over the last few months about the Scottish star, and Andy has been questioned several times about his thoughts on Murray’s potential. Now he has a chance to test him out.

Last year at Wimbledon Andy commented about Murray’s maturity in his game plans for “someone so young”. Since then, the teenager has evolved, rising rapidly up the rankings. Andy is looking forward at having a stab at the youngster tonight, “He never plays himself out of a point,” said Roddick “He’s very solid, he’s got good energy. I like the way he plays.”

Here are some stats on Murray, courtesy of the ATP:
