I think that he's not going to Australia until the new year. As far as I know, it's just SA for November.

Hope he gets back in time for Aberdeen!!!! *LOL*

Hi, Tim, long time no see. Are you arranging a warehouse full of cushions ready for next year?

timmoore46 · Admin:moderator + Club Coach

If Tim H gets locked away in some comfortable corner nowhere near a Tennis competition, the cushion supply should hold out...... just. Bet getting the hoover fixed in time is the challenge! *LOL*

Looking forward to Aberdeen then a desert until Jan....

But they need a rest, look at the Masters shambles in China! Grrrrrrr....

Source for this Madeline........? Seems sensible..........

Madeline · Admin:Moderator + Tennis Legend

To be honest, I "pinched" if from the BBC message board, the poster (who also posts on here) did not give a source. However Kundalini, who also posts here, confirmed it as correct. It has also been posted on MTF by a different person, who said it came from Judy Murray and Mark Petchey.

Going by past experience, even if correct now it will be subject to change!

The same poster on MTF says to add Delray Beach on January 30th...

Boy, is this a busy schedule or what?

Gosh, Andy is playing almost every single week until Wimbledon. Unless he goes out early in several of his tournaments he's going to be burnt out by the grass-court season. I think he could have done with maybe not having a couple of those events.

More immediately, Andy now heads home for a short while before going to South Africa for a bout of training.

Will post more Tues AM but after speaking to Mark Petchey the program for next year is far from fixed. The only definates so far is the month in Aussie and Wimbledon....there are not sure if he will play nottingham !

Sheddie · administrator

I can't wait to hear about that conversation with Petchey Acacia !!!

Surely though, Adelaide, Auckland and the USA hard-court tournaments are definate as Andy's signed up for them and is on the entry lists.

Before heading to South Africa, Andy is apparently staying in London for a fortnight of fitness training.

Madeline · Admin:Moderator + Tennis Legend

Isn't San Jose confirmed as well? I'm sure I read that somewhere. As for all the others, although the original poster on MTF was adamant that they were correct and gave the source as Judy Murray and Mark Petchey, perhaps it would be truer to say that these are the tournaments from which they are most likely to choose to enter. He surely can't be playing them all!

Sheddie · administrator

San Jose is also a definate for Andy according to their website and the San Jose tournament organiser. Andy has also signed a contract agreeing to play in Las Vegas as well.

However, as for Memphis, Delray Beach etc, as Mark Petchey said to Acacia, there's a lot in Andy's schedule which is not certain. I would think there's a good chance of Andy playing in Memphis as it fits in nicely between San Jose and Las Vegas but I wouldn't think he'll play Delray Beach as he'll probaby take a week off after the Aussie Open to rest and also to acclimatise and practise ahead of San Jose.

Sheddie · administrator

Andy leaves for South Africa for 3 weeks on training on the 12th December and he leaves for Australia from South Africa on the 28th December. He said this in an interview which he gave, I'll post a transcript in the Latest Andy Murray news section a bit later.

For a little more information go to the calendar and click on the entries for 12th and 28th December.

Andy not on the entry list for Delray Beach - he would have been seeded if he had!
