Andy admits he could be in for a tough time as he attempts to make the semi-final stages of the Masters 1000 event in Toronto tonight.
He plays a rejuvenated David Nalbandian for a place in the last four, with the Argentine on an eleven match winning streak that includes the Washington title.
The World No. 45 is playing just his sixth tournament of the season after a hamstring problem in June and July, an injury which came following his return in February after a nine-month absence with a hip injury.
“He’s a very, very good player, on his day, one of the best in the world and it’s gonna be tough,” said Andy of the encounter.
Nalbandian leads their head-to-head 2-0, with Andy looking forward to redress the balance.
“I obviously played him at Wimbledon the first year I played there and lost in five sets,” added Andy. “And then I played against him after I won the tournament in Madrid and St. Petersburg, and then I played him in Paris and I was pretty tired by then.”
