Glad he (and we) have a couple of days off to recover!
Found a way to win despite not playing his best tennis.

H2H: 1-0 to Andy, 2016 Monte Carlo Masters L16 by 2-6 7-5 7-5

Anderson or Tsonga / Querrey in the QF for the winner, Querrey 6-5* up on Tsonga in the final set when play was suspended.

Querrey broke Tsonga straight off to win 7-5 in the final set.

Suspending at level games is surely fairer but I guess they were trying to stretch things to hopefully get it done and then got to the point it was too dark.

 Tsonga was given a choice last night but decided because of the light not to play one more game.

Andy needs to get his act together if he wants to have even the slightest chance of winning the title. That passive rubbish isn't going to get the job done.

So I thought I would see who might win Wimbledon based on h2h results as below:

1) Last grass match played between the 2 players

2) If no grass played, last hard or indoor match

3) if no hard or indoor, last clay

4) If not played on any surface, then Wimbledon seeding or ranking if no seeding position

So, on that basis, here is how the field might pan out

Last 16

Murray bt Paire (last time was Monte Carlo this year in 3 sets)

Querrey by Anderson

Nadal bt Muller (never played before)

Bautista Agut bt Cilic

Zverev bt Raonic

Federer bt Dimitrov

Berdych bt Thiem (havent played since 2014!)

Djokovic bt Mannarino (played last year at Wimbledon)

Quarters:

Murray bt Querrey (played Wimbledon 2016 Last 16)

Nadal bt Bautista Agut

Federer bt Zverev (played Halle Final this year and last year Halle SF also)

Djokovic bt Berdych (played Wimbledon qf in 2013)

Semis (Big 4 all in semis, what do folks think?)

Nadal bt Murray (sorry, Wimbledon semi 2011 went Nadals way)

Djokovic bt Federer (Wimbledon Final 2015)

FINAL

Djokovic bt Nadal (Wimbledon Final 2011 went Djokos way)

So, will Novak win the title, Andre is in his corner the runes seem to point that way , or will the latest gossip on his private life in such high brow papers as the Mail on Sunday cause him to melt down. Rafa will return to number one and Andy will have to settle for a semifinal this time

Anyone else got an alternative perspective??

This thread needs a bump so I post in the right thread again, getting less attention than the 'other' men's one...

Andy looking good now just switched over from Konta match, had been watching on IPad at the same time. I'm
Muting Becker and C*stle. Can't stand the man.
