How was his movement? Couldn't see the match, only a few points and it seems a bit rusty.

Hi all,

I would like to plan a trip to queue to be able to watch Andy play. Who did the same in teh first week and can give me some advice d.m.?

Yes, he combined phenomenal defence with being extremely fit, so could most often outlast other players. He won a ton of tight matches that way. 

But now he is 35 with a metal hip - that route to success isn't available now, and it is too late to change other parts of his game that much. He's given his comeback a real good go, but I can't see him accepting touring at this lower level for too much longer.

I agree with you. And how to build confidence?

If i was Andy I would still be pleased with this showing against a really good young player. My screen went dead at the second break of serve!

I note thast Andy is off to Miami next. His ranking will likely stay top hundred for a while as he has just 45 points to drop in the next four weeks. A first round win in Miami would be good. I thought that Andy played well today considering the skills on the other side of the net.

So miami. That gives a well deserved rest. Good memories for him in Miami!

 That second round match was sold out, so I was very lucky to find a resell ticket. Watching matches live in this part of his carreer, no matter win or loose is very special.

He hasn't got a permanent coach right now, just Dani Vallverdu on temporary loan while Wawrinka recovers from injury - and yes we did see him.

I know, I forgot Dani was asked for Rotterdam and Dubai. I saw  both matches live in Rotterdam (sa Dani as well).

there goes his racket again. warning? Doesn't know exactly what I a am watching. strange match.

did we see his coach?

that child, or is it a baby in the crowd?

sloppy....i like the word, hope it gets better though

it's a break. two times racket smashing by Andy.

what do you think Aileen?

I love Andy and have been by his side since he was a knuckle mashing teenager and I will always support him. I just hope he can figure out this consistency problem.

agree!!

Since november Andy had 5 different coaches beside him, changed his racket and his tactics. So he went through a lot . Mostly he plays at his best against the top 20, so this result yesterday was different.  It must be so hard for him.
