I agree, but apart from Queens I don't know where else he's going to play in the run-up to Wimbledon because he's already pulled out of Stuttgart.  The other thing too is that his chances of being seeded at SW19 are remote to non-existent.

The BBC article suggests his potential participation in the Surbiton Challenger.

Thanks.  I've just checked their website and so far his name is not on the players' list.

^ Totally agree!

Andy has accepted a wildcard for Surbiton which starts on 5th June.

Andy is hoping to add 28 year old doubles specialist Jonny O'Mara to his coaching team.

"Although the arrangement is still being worked through, O’Mara’s big advantage over incumbent coaches Ivan Lendl and Mark Hilton is that he would theoretically be available for every trip Murray makes.

While Hilton has committed to the whole of the grass-court season, he has a young family, and has not been able to come to every overseas event. As for Lendl, he hates travel and is only an occasional visitor to courtside. This summer, Lendl will probably arrive in the build-up to Queen’s, which starts in a fortnight’s time, and then stay for Wimbledon."

I was thinking about that on Sunday and wondering how it made Andy feel. What a great attitude.

Yes I saw him, but I knew he was expected to turn up before Queens.
