“He hits hard and flat,” Andy commented on his next round opponent, Czech Republic’s Ivo Minar. “You know, I think he’s going to come out and go for broke. That’s probably what he feels is going to be his best chance to get a win.” Andy will face Minar in the third round of the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami, FL, on Monday, March 31st.Minar, ranking 86th in the world and making the main draw as a qualifier, upset Juan Ignacio Chela (30) in three sets to move on and play on against Andy. Andy leads their head-to-head 1-0, taking the first “W” during the first round of Davis Cup last year en route to victory lane. While this 23-year-old has not made it past the first round in 2008 before here, Andy anticipates he’ll go for broke and this should be a lively match with unpredictable shots.
