Question for Jamie: Has he thought about Wimbledon doubles yet, who would he prefer to play with, Colin or Andy?

Jamie told me he will play with Colin as they've been an established pairing for about a year and a half now and have won so many tournaments together, they really know each others games so well. He feels they combine well as a pair and have the ability to build on that through the challenger events up to ATP tour level.

He does enjoy playing with his brother and feels that they also combine well.

Regarding aria's question to Jamie:

"What's your aim for the rest of the season? Do you plan on playing mainly in Britain or do you think you'll play some tournaments abroad?"

Jamie says he will mix in playing European Challengers with British futures events and the Cardiff Challenger, until the grass-court season when they are hoping for wildcards into all the ATP events. He'll be going for singles qualies and then doubles main draw with Colin Fleming. There's going to try and play lots of challengers as in order to get into the top 100 doubles by Wimbledon they need to be competing for those extra points. They haven't decided their schedule for after Wimbledon yet but they might head to the States and if ranked high enough - play some ATP events.

I'll try and get answers to the as yet unanswered questions, by the end of this week

Any joy with getting a few words from Petch / Andy at the Davis Cup ?

(1st question in thread)

I haven't asked him that one yet, it's a question which is probably easier to explain when speaking to him, I've only been texting questions so far.

I'll have a go tomorrow.

Hopefully Colin Fleming will be in the team and then I might be able to arrange a chat for you with Colin and Laura aswell.

I think that the answer to my question about the highlight of Andy's career may have changed after this week, so exactly what were his thoughts after he won the tournament.

Also, who is Andy looking forward to taking on who he hasn't already played?

I was a bit curious about this question when they mentioned this on eurosport. They gave this fact about Andy's racquet:

Andy is using a HEAD racket with 59 lbs of tension. (Hewitt has 52 lbs). They also said that the normal is late 40 to early 50 lbs. What exactly does this mean, and how come Andy uses a higher tesion?

What did A-Rod and Lleyton say to Andy after he beat them?

Answer to the question on Andy's necklace:

It's a lucky charm given to him last year by his girlfriend Kim.

I would like to ask Andy (on behalf of all of us) if he realises he the cause of the worldwide cushion (and possibly carpet) shortages and whether he would be willing to donate some money so this message board can start up a cushion fund

You'll get to see the final round of qualies action on the Monday. If you delay your return to the Wednesday you'll get to see the 1st round action and most of the Brits.
