That's cool, I remember when Andy teamed up with Andre there oh so long ago.


Mister Q said, "They'll play one up and one back...Andre on the baseline and Andy 5 feet behind it".

:sad: Those were the days.


Is Andy actually in London yet?

Andy's playing against Roger-Vasselin. He and Hewitt are last on Centre tomorrow. I think they've been postponing/taking doubles off the schedule every day b/c of rain.

Nah he'll do it at/after a us open. Can't imagine he'd retire anywhere else

Oh my :facepalm: He had that one chance on the matchpoint, it was a good opening, Roger-Vasselin left a free space for Andy to pass him at the net by going BHDTL. And he sent that backhand at least few meters out.

It is sad that it has gone so far that part of me is happy with the fact that he didn't lose 0-2, but managed to make it as close as it was. When he got broken in that 1st set, I thought it is gonna be 0-2 without any doubts.

22 aces, 79% 1st serve, and still a loss. Another disappointment. I am very sad now :sad:

Meh and bleh.

I wouldn't count Andy out. He looked healthy out there. He can play himself into form but he'll need some luck to go further than maybe the 3rd round of Wimbly.

I think we'll see a return to form sometime this summer and we won't see a retirement until next year. In the article Tangy posted, Andy was sorta saying it could be his last Wimbledon(as if to say anything can happen)...but not that it would be.

Well, I really like the optimistic post by Fumus, hopefully, he is right :)

At least Lleyton/Andy doubles team won :bigclap: Ok, it's probably just a meaningless doubles match, but it is so cool to see those two warriors from the previous decade battling it out together. I mean, I grew up watching these guys, it is just great to see them playing together. I really hope that the next match will be streamed, so I can watch them in action :cool:



As strange as it is, same here :lol:

It's good bc Andy needs time on court in a real match atmosphere doesn't matter if it's meaningless doubles. He's lost a ton of singles matches in a row but let's not forget the last one he won. If he's healthy which it sounds like he is, what he needs is confidence.

Well Andy took a wc into eastbourne next week :eek:
 
#20 ·
A little unexpected but good news, imo.

Good luck to Lleyton/Andy pairing tonight against the doubles specialists :cool:
 
#26 ·
well it's at least encouraging that he said things have started coming together in practice the last couple days.
 
#28 ·
W/UE ratio was 20/4 today :eek: Andy served 7 aces, so excluding those it was 13 winners from the match.

Overall fine performance, and thanks to tennis God that he was able to convert his 8th matchpoint, otherwise it would have been a very disappointing experience. Good luck against Fognini now! :yeah: And judging from how Andy tries and fires himself up, he really wants to win and is really going for it. Very nice to see.

Well, his press conferences appear to be getting more optimistic, that can't be a bad sign.
