Andy's 2011 schedule

Apart from those, the only ones his official site has are the mandatory tournaments! It is still showing the 2010 tournaments, plus Hopman Cup.

I must say, the site has gone downhill rapidly since 19 took it over. Rob used to keep it well updated. That's not the forum on his site that I'm talking about, the main site itself, which is now a mass of non-information.

Yes, I have to agree with that. I kind of understand why they put the forum at arm's length (don't agree, but can see why they might have wanted to do it) but the site is largely style over substance now, without even managing to be that stylish.

Being a Facebook-(like-the-plague)-avoider, I don't know whether AM's Facebook pages are any better, but apparently 19 decided that was what they wanted to concentrate on. I would imagine the Facebook pages are even shallower.

I guess they decided the real tennis fans will support him anyway and they want to attract non-tennis fans by turning him into some kind of general 'celeb', whereas I think that in the end he would have attracted more and more fans on his own merits - you don't need to manufacture 'celebrityness' when someone is as good at something as he is.
