Haven't added my :banana: contribution to this thread yet :)

I mixed up the starting time of the match, and, when I wanted to start watching Andy was losing 1:6, 1:0. So, I didn't see anything from the medical time-out and didn't even know that there might be something wrong with him. But I felt that he can turn around this match as losing a random set to a player of Muller's level (no disrespect meant) doesn't mean anything. So happy for another title :aparty:

Really looking forward to Olympics :yeah: Best of luck, Andy!

LOL - he's definitely not screwed. Of all of the top 4 he matches up against Djoker the best and of all of the top 4 Djoker is having the biggest slump. I have to think this is good...a win over Novak would make the tournament for him.

good. we don't need to watch him cry for himself and federer. vomit.

Well, not off to a good start in doubles :lol: weird to see andy look so short next to john :haha:

well they lost. Andy was really terrible at net, quite frankly.

should be singles tomorrow for Andy... don't think he'll be in mixed.

He served fine, several aces etc. Hard to tell for sure, but I feel pretty confident saying his shoulder was not a factor. It was his play at net that was a much bigger problem. And I think the fact that they had simply never played together before. And they were playing against doubles specialists.

So Andy's match was postponed today, he's on first tomorrow at 11:30am and if he wins plays novak, who didn't look unbeatable

Well i'll finally be able to tick something off my bucket list tomorrow.

I'M SEEING ANDY LIVE ON CENTRE COURT! I CAN'T EVEN... SO EXCITED...

Been waiting TEN YEARS for this opportunity, thankyou scheduling gods. Been to 8 tennis tournaments and missed him every time, even missed him on the practice courts. Waited two hours at WTF once because he was scheduled to practice but he never turned up :lol:. If you want me to upload pics just say the word and I shall :)

I couldn't watch Roddick-Djokovic yesterday, but watched it today on a full tape. From what I saw, Andy was not THAT bad. He tried to hit the ball, to take it to the Djoker. Just everything Nole touched, it tourned into gold. The sad thing is, a lot of top players seem to have their best days against Andy lately. I just hope this match does not smack his confidence much.

What surprises me is that his serve seems to be the problem more and more often. I don't know why his best shot seem breaks down, maybe because overuse through the years...I don't know.

I wander if Andy can make a run in Canada (if he plays). A lot of the top guys will be tired from the Olympics.

Well apparently he did withdraw from Canada. Joy oh joy :eek:

Thanks guys, I had an amazing time despite the result.

Infact it was UNREAL. Because guess what, Wimbledon was so dead you could just wander round the practice courts (courts 5,6,7 etc.) and there was no crowd. So I literally arrive, and ten minutes later there's Andy with a couple of people around him trying to get pictures, he's on his own and keeps asking the staff how to get to court 7 :lol: he kept apologising to people wanting autographs saying he had to practice. So, I went to court 7 to watch him practice, his partner didn't turn up till 10 minutes later, then about 5 minutes later it starting raining!

Andy wasn't happy because his was the first court to be covered and was moaning to the groundstaff asking them if they wanted him to practice in the middle of the road blah blah. So I thought there goes my chance of getting an autograph, he was in a terrible mood. Anyway, some little kid came up and begged for him to sign his cap and he agreed and i shot in behind him and managed to get my program signed, he only signed for two people. Haha, I was so giddy, i've wanted to see Andy live for ten years, never thought it would happen before he retired. More than I could have ever asked for.

Anyway, I will post some pics tomorrow for you :)

So disappointed to see that Andy's not in Toronto.

I know that there's been nothing written, but from following Hewitt over the years I always get the feeling that not playing a tournament, having not gone deep the previous week, means that the body isn't up to the challenge of playing a lot of tennis. Of course it's just speculation, but I do fear that Andy is struggling with his shoulder and/or other niggles.
