Andy is off to a winning start at the 2009 World Tour Finals after a hard fought 6-3 3-6 6-2 win over Juan Martin Del Potro that makes him the early front runner in Group A.
“Me and Juan haven’t played that much since the US Open,” said Andy
I kind of expected a little bit of a scrappy match maybe. He didn’t start particularly well, but after 5-0 (in the first set), I thought the standard was very good. Played some great points. Obviously happy to get the win.”
“Tactically, I’ve always been quite good. So I found a way through it today. He does have a big forehand. He can hit a lot of winners; he can make mistakes off of it. There was a period [from the] end of the first set till the beginning of the third where he was hitting it big. I managed to keep myself in the point with sort of low slices and backhands, up the line. They helped a lot to kind of keep him out of that backhand court a bit.”
