Andy's Programme for 2007

Madeline · Admin:Moderator + Tennis Legend

Other than Doha - Kooyong - Oz Open, no.

I really think his official site should be publishing this sort of info. I have posted on there a couple of times asking for such info but it has been ignored.

After the Aussie Open, he'll probably play Zagreb again unless he gets to the latter stages in Melbourne. After that it all depends whether he decides to head to the States for the outdoor hard court swing or plays the European indoor circuit.

All the big names will be in Europe but I'd prefer to see Andy heading to the States and racking up the points on his best surface. On US cement, he's one of the top 6 in the world at his best.

I agree, it would be good if the official site had a schedule page. I'll suggest that to Kate and Lucy.

However, Andy probably hasn't decided yet where he's going to go after the Aussie Open, it's still 2 months away.

If Gilbert doesn't have Andy playing in the US after Oz I will eat that hat that I don't possess (preferably not the hard hat Drew offered, it would cost too much in Dentist's fees)

Andy has already commited himself for San Jose.

VSandhi20 · Futures qualifying

i'll be surprised if he does not play in the US after the Aussie Open, because he going to be used the warmer climates and the conditions and no point of going back and forth when the back2back masters are based in the US as well.

Plus San Jose.

Being very lazy, does anyone have the dates easily at hand?

Tim, if you are still too lazy, or too busy watching hedgehogs/squirrels (when do they hibernate?), here are the dates so far mentioned.

1 January - Doha
8 January - Kooyong (not sure if it actually begins on the 8th but it is that week)
15 January - Australian Open
12 February - San Jose

I think Kooyong starts on the Tuesday [9th] - not entirely sure though.

He could play Zagreb as he did last year. That starts on Monday 29th Jan. However, having looked at the calendar, Delray Beach seems a more sensible option.

Playing Zagreb would mean travelling all the way back to Europe for one event indoors [a completely radical change of surface and he won't be playing indoors again until the autumn]. If he plays Delray Beach, it won't be such a big change in surface and conditions from the Aussie Open and he's going to be spending the following 2 months [Feb and March] competing in the States. Then he'd have a rest week while the rd1 DC ties are played, before San Jose.

If he doesn't play that week, then that means a possible 3 week break till San Jose. Unless he reaches the latter stages of the Aussie Open, that'd be quite a surprising decision.

Given that he's entered San Jose, I think we can assume that he's going to certainly play ATP Memphis [19th Feb] and ATP Las Vegas [26th Feb]

I think that Andy will play Zagreb. He promised last year that he will return, and even though he is a lot busier this year, the website mentions that he will be reminded of his promise.
Tim should be there. He is skipping AO preparations and has a lot to defend out there.
Boggo, as the Count and David says, won't be there.
Wonder if Greg will be there......

This is what schedule I think Andy will take up next year post AO:

Pretty much the same as last year.

Zagreb.
Rest week.
San Jose.
Memphis.
Las Vegas.
Indian Wells.
Miami.
Davis Cup.
Rest week.
Monte Carlo.
Barcelona.
Rest week.
Rome.
Hamburg.
Rest week.
French Open.
Queen's Club.
Rest week.
Wimbledon.
Rest week.
Indianapolis. (Or Davis Cup.)
Los Angeles.
Washington.
Montreal.
Cincinnati
Rest week.
US Open.
Rest week.
Davis Cup.
Bangkok.
Tokyo.
Rest week.
Madrid.
Basel.
Paris.
Shanghai.

So same as last year except for the fact that he skips Estoril, Nottingham and Newport and adds Shanghai.

VSandhi20 · Futures qualifying

i dont think hes going to play 25+ tournies a year

remember in one of his interviews, he planning to cut down tournies other than the mandatory tournaments. and he aiming for better scheduling and peak at the right time for the major tournies. Also, i dont think Zagreb would be his 1st tournie after the AO, more likely to be in the US.

Salmon · Tennis legend

Yeah, but he is cutting down events with this schedule. And let us not forget that he can miss events.... *crosses fingers*

Salmon · Tennis legend

He will play Zagreb.
No Memphis for him this time.
Hasn't decided about Las Vegas.

Thanks for that Greenleaf, how did you get to that page? I can't work it out without the link

Also, I love the fact that thei have the first three tournaments being played on Grass!! Makes me wonder why Tim has never done very well in Australia

And is the Kooyong exhibition really in Melbourne?
