The Guardian article says that Andy's request not to be put on last, on Centre Court, every day, was ignored and cost him

"Andy Murray has said he asked Wimbledon organisers this year not to schedule him as the final match on Centre Court every day because of concerns over late finishes. Wimbledon, however, did not grant the request and late scheduling had a significant bearing on his exit from the Championships.

"I had multiple conversations before the start of the tournament and asked not to play the third match every single day because thats what is going to happen with the 1.30 start and the breaks in between the matches, Murray said. The roof, in my opinion, was there for when it rains that there is always matches that can go on for the fans and for TV and everything and its great.

It feels like its getting used now for darkness to play matches later in the evening and when you get that third slot you have no way of practising on an indoor grass court. Its not possible. You spend your whole time preparing for Wimbledon I skipped the French Open to prepare to play my best tennis at Wimbledon but then youre playing every match under different conditions than what youre preparing for."

Looks as though the end may well be in sight & that 2024 will be Andy's last as a full-time professional - interview with Russell Fuller.

If this is Andys last season, then thank you to one of the greatest British mens players this country has seen since Fred Perry. Hope he stays involved in she game though as British tennis needs him.

 I took that as 2024 could be as opposed to will be and it really depends on his fitness. 

I actually think it will be his last season but I dont think he is actually saying that it will be and he is saying that hed like to think he can continue beyond this season if his fitness holds up.

I see Andy, as well as Jack D, are both in the Montpellier field post the AO. Jan C is also in the alts list and presumably will be in qualies.

Jean-Francois Caujolle, director of the ATP tournament in Marseille, explaining why he'd rather have Andy than some 'unknown' guy ranked 15-20 in the world

And that is the importance/value of wildcards.......

 Thanks CD, and hopefully Andy gets handsomely rewarded with appearance fees for playing somewhere like Marseille! 

he clearly is a draw and deserves that for his career. Although Ive been one assuming Andy will call it a day this year, I do so hope he proves many of us wrong! One last Connors like hurrah would be great! I was on holiday in Barbados with some friends the year Connors charged to the back end of the US Open, I think he came back from 2 sets down against Krickstein in the last 16 or some such (was it 1991?) and I remember watching it on a bar TV screen by the beach ( I used to work for BA and got free flights so places like Barbados were normal and cheap- those were the days! )

Ps AdM is probably one of the more marketable players right now, generally! But not in Andys league!

 "Fraser McKnight" - heh.

Amusing, and very well constructed - good to see the guys playing along, but I am not sure what it is trying to say. Has there been some controversy that I missed about tennis being scripted, or the results being fixed?
