Wow !

What do we know about Andrew ? ( he seems to have avoided my radar ). A short summary will do :)

His record has been fairly modest by top tennis standards up to now, but could of course be a late developer. He featured earlier in the year in a Swedish G4 tournament where he reached the final but ran out of socks. He is going to Memphis University later this year, and their enthusiastic welcome gives you a bit more information: http://www.gotigersgo.com/sports/m-tennis/spec-rel/120413aab.html
