JonH · All-time great

Reminds me of when Andy came back from his back surgery and went on a run in the autumn to qualify for O2. Force of will rather than brilliant play. That quality is coming out again.

Good day for British men with cam, Jay and Wardy also winning well.

JonH · All-time great

Andy very emotional after that win. Well done to him, great to see him back. Top 400 now?

Awww at him after he won!

If you could sum up Andy in one match thats the match youd use to describe it.

If he could walk fine before this week, he probably can't now........but that's probably not his hip either smile
