Andy to face Dutchman Haase in opener

Andy to face Dutchman Haase in opener

Andy -

Andy will face Robin Haase of the Netherlands in the first round of the Australian Open. Andy has faced the Dutchman, also aged 25, only twice in his professional career, once in Rotterdam in 2008, and then at the 2011 US Open in a 5 set epic which saw Andy recover from two sets to love down, to take the match.

Speaking shortly after the draw Andy confirmed that despite a potential semi final with Roger Federer on the cards, he remains focused on the task at hand. Paying tribute to the ever increasing standard of the men’s tour he said “It sounds cliché but I don’t really look beyond the first round of the draws. The strength of the men’s game right now means it’s dangerous to look too far ahead.”
