So sad for Andy. Andy tried his best, but Lajovic was too good.  Andy had many wild shots and that didnt help. A very frustrating match for all of us but especially for Andy. Did he look past this guy? Did he figure he had the win in his pocket??  Or did he just get out played?

Quite shocked that Andy is out in the first round, he has been playing really well of late. He did quite well at Indian Wells and it's never been his best tournament.

Thanks for that Aileen, just wasn't moving right and nothing went right for him.

Shame he could not win a few rounds and improve his ranking. So it is one step forward, then again a slip in the ranking. Hard to find him in the top 30 any time soon.

While it does seem very unlikely at the moment, how much further up the rankings he could get depends on how many tournaments he plays on clay, and that includes the French Open which he says he wants to compete in.  Last year he only played in Madrid, and that was just two matches, so not many ranking points to defend.
