Oh in other news, our darling Andy has gotten a good win over Pospisil (6-4,6-4) today in Vienna. Tomorrow he plays ... whatshisname.
Anyway, I'd rather he meets with Ferrer in the final than not. There's no reason for him to avoid players where there's a great chance for him to lose as well; in fact, he should play these players more often and slowly get the wins over them. There's no way, no how to gain confidence.
