Isn't there like three different ones now?

"I've been playing some sets the last few days and haven't had any bad reactions on my wrist," said Murray, speaking as his brother Jamie Murray was lifting the doubles title at Nottingham.

"Every day it's been getting better. Unless I have any bad reactions on Sunday or on Monday after my practice I'm planning on playing.

There's your answer all you cynical people. He'd hoped to get in extra practice today but then got drawn to play today. He still wasn't entirely comfortable after practice yesterday and was worried cause that was his last practice, spoke to his doctors who said 10 days not 2 so he withdrew. I bet if his doctors had said by Wednesday he'd be fully fit he'd have chanced it. But 10 days is just too much. It's not a big conspiracy. Wimbledon doesn't NEED Andy. It'll still be over-run with people everyday. It's just a guy seeded top 8 for his home slam for the first time not willing to admit defeat until the last minute. I bet he's more gutted than the rest of us.

I know you've all seen that quote for a while now Mark. As have I. Don't be patronising. This is just the first time i've been here since I read it and I'm just offering my opinion on what I think happened. And this quote has a lot to do with that. I thought R1 was played Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, which is why I thought Tuesday was a possibility. But I suppose if we're all of a sudden believing everything Fuzzy has to say then i'll go away and eat my piece of humble pie.

I quoted it cause it was a while ago in the topic and i was going to refer to it in my post. Is that not the way things work around here? Sorry if I read you as patronising when you didn't mean to be. I was just annoyed that you thought I was doing that unnecessary re-post thing that I hate.

I actually looked up the R1 thing and he is right. R1 for top half scheduled Monday R1 for bottom half scheduled Tuesday. Rain delay and long matches cause regular wednesday spillover which usually means Top half Monday/Tuesday bottom half Tuesday/Wednesday to allow for appropriate rest days. I just thought that was the way it was scheduled cause it happened so often.

Well with todays rain it looks like there will be no play at all. There might not be much on Tuesday or Wednesday either. Its looking really bad for the first week. I would guess that its a certantity for a middle sunday play. You never know it couldve been 10 days before Andy got to play.

Cheerleader Andy’s big brother fanfare'

ANDY MURRAY will make his Wimbledon bow this afternoon - as part of brother Jamie's cheering squad.

The injury-hit British No.1 has promised to clap and cheer his older brother to victory when he begins his men's doubles campaign later today.
