Well hope of course Andy is fine.
But personally I always think this kind of tournament is just for "taking the money" and would rather Andy acclimatised/travelled to Australia and did something just there first. But his right to choose!

Might as well take a nice fat pay cheque for a glorified practice session if it's offered!

I suppose that might give him Christmas in UK and then break up the journey down under ? And - yes - it would be a nice far paycheque after 3 months with no income

I should think he earns more off the tennis court by way of sponsorship etc than he does on it. So I doubt he'll be worried about income.
