Regardless of tonight's results, what do peeps think about Rafa n Andy's chances at Cincy?

I wouldn't be surprised if both put in a token effort and regrouped for USO.
Are they really going to do Cincy?

Does Andy have points to defend there?

I doubt it would dent his confidence much or harm his chances at the USO if he went out early.

A break followed by a hold. Andy steps up a gear at the right time.

There's no points at the Olympics.

detroitcity means Cincy, which Andy is defending semi final points.

Delpos eyes look like they being held open on matchsticks.

Although rankings state otherwise...I would say that Andy is arguably the best player in the world right now.

And I do mean at this moment (ie the last month or so)

I've seen kids that age at Glastonbury when they had school the next Monday.

Novak has had an iffy month, but we can't ignore the majority of this year. Let's look again after USO.

Andy has run Novak closer than ever though I think. USO will be interesting because the DC tie follows it again. Andy is only defending USO 4th round points? Is that right? Whereas Novak is defending the whole shebang.
