It's all my fault.  Every time I go to see Andy play, he pulls out or gets knocked out.  FOUR TIMES, I have now been to his tournaments and still yet to see him play.  Last year in Madrid we had to leave on the first Monday and he had a BYE on that day.  In Valencia the year before last, he got knocked out early and I had tickets for the semis and final, and the same thing happened last week in Barcelona.

I am off to Madrid for Tues/Weds/Thurs next week and someone must have told him I was coming.  That is why he has pulled out !!!

Yep. seems fairly conclusive  wink

I see Neil Harman tweeting that it's not too bad and Andy should be back for Rome, well that's unless you've got plans to...

Seriously, must be very frustrating.  I count myself rather luckier to have linked a New York holiday in 2008 to the second week of that year's US Open where I bought advance tickets to the semi finals and the final.  Ended up seeing our man in the L16, SF and Final smile

If its any consolation Bob, the times I have seen Andy play (twice), have not been the most enjoyable experience

I hope it's just a precaution. Madrid is a good one to miss if you have to miss any - nothing like RG conditions, and if you play it you have to play 2 masters in two weeks.

Too right.  The Blue Clay is horrible and all the players are complaining.  Looks more like cement dust than clay.  BRING BACK THE RED STUFF !!!

Looks like it was just a niggle and a precaution. He is already in Rome practising on the red stuff.

I had to chuckle at one of Tenis Spain's tweets from the boys' singles event they are holding here:

"#mutuamadridopenS12 #tenis Nicola Khunt 61 61. A Dario Montes Superioridad en e el juego que refleja el marcador"

I mean, I know he beat a local boy, but there's no need to be rude! disbelief (the winner's real name, without typos, is "Kuhn" - and he's also Spanish!) biggrin
