Further news - Andy will probably only play doubles with Dan as his back hasn't fully recovered from surgery, and the way the schedule is it could mean playing two matches on the same day.  Andy also says "That gives the team and us the best opportunity to get a medal".

I had a feeling that singles might be a bridge too far. Go Andy!

I think that's a pretty good draw! And I love Nishikori. I kind of like it that Andy will be playing another veteran.

If they win, they'd play Humbert & Fils of France which would be tough.  They're in the opposite half of the draw from Nadal/Alcaraz.

Assuming Humbert/Fils win.  Their opponents Belgium's Sander Gille/Joran Vliegen are already an established doubles pairing, which would be equally tough.

Out of interest, had Andy not pulled out of the singles, he would have played Austria's Sebastian Ofner in round 1.
