Seems Andy and Djoko have split - not a major surprise there, Id say. Interested to understand more on the whys and wherefore of that whole relationship.

Delighted at the news!    Some background in this article by Russell Fuller on the Beeb site.  I like the Medvedev quote:

"It's like Messi becoming the coach of Cristiano Ronaldo," was the Russian's view of the situation.

 I'm pleased that he put it that way round, too.

Just been to Andys stage show organised as a chat with Andrew Cotter. Great fun and although most of the stories that he talked about have been covered in the press and probably on this forum, it was an entertaining event and very droll with both speaking in their very understated witty way.

As well as talking about his Wimbledon wins and the other successes, and indeed difficulties, it was good to see him talk about his happy family life with Kim and the children.

As a Christmas present from my wife, this was a nice evening ahead of Wimbledon.

An interesting interview with Andy from The Sunday Times which focuses on Andy's aspirations to become a scratch golfer with a view to getting into a regional qualifying event for the 2027 Open!  However, it  broadens out to include his thoughts on Alcaraz (& his golf), his brief tenure as NoDjo's coach, his farewell to Wimbledon last year & commentating (not just on tennis).

I have serious doubts about the writer's writing abilities (Tom Kershaw, a new name to me).  He needs to go back to school to learn that people don't as a rule find themselves "under delusions", "sum up depths" or "enamour (themselves)" to other people & as for "forging a chink of light" between others...    That said, on the evidence of what I see regularly in print & on-line these days, I equally seriously doubt that the English language is now properly taught in schools.  

 

Doubles come back, anyone?

Andy on why he feels he didnt deliver what Novak needed. More importantly, his comments on the schedule and 2 week Masters - spot on re players needing breaks for mental health as well as physical reasons. Being 30-35 weeks a year on the road is a lot and it takes a very particular type of person to do that - I know I couldn't, even when younger.
