good match physically
I feel physically I was a lot better than I was in my first match and that's a good sign.
andy beat best events level massive masters matches reason series six win
At the Masters Series events, you have to win six matches and you play the very best guys. But once you can beat Roddick and Hewitt, there's no reason why you can't do it. It's another level for Andy but not a massive step.

Just in the first couple of games I did feel I was a little bit rigid,

I think it's a bug of some sort, probably nothing serious. Now I need to rest and make sure I feel fresh for the French Open.
