Since andy reached the 4th round at the USO and Wimbledon should these not be added to his career highs? They seem pretty good to me.

I don't think it should really....

It's meant to show his big steps in his career and a fourth round after beating Federer isn't a big leap if you get me.

Well how about putting them in as one entry.

   Reached 4th Round as USO and Wimbledon


Even if it was at the bottom of his 2006 achievments. It;s an improvemtn on last year. Maybe your right though, a QF appearance would have been more merited.

Edited.

That would be better but I just don't feel reaching a fourth round of a grand slam is such a big deal for him relative to his previous achievements. When he reaches the QF then yes...

No there isn't any system like that Neil... we just put on anything that is a special achievement in that year Smile

Beating Roddick was special last year, beating him this year is not... it's just relative sh*t.

Well I can add that too, I still think, regardless of it being hsi second time, that it's a good achievement this year at least. Maybe next year we'll only be putting in win's in MS's but not for 2007
