Entries 08/01/2016 to 02/06/2016 (not sure this cache has everything in the right order!)
From Andys website
http://www.andymurray.com/schedule/
I would be fairly surprised if Andy actually ends up playing Monte Carlo. Also, having Cincinnati a week after the Olympics will probably mean a fair amount of withdrawals so it should certainly be an interesting week but I imagine Andy will still try and play, whatever happens at the Olympics. Probably just not finalised yet, but he isn't down to play the Paris masters, as it stands.
I would imagine Monte Carlo is in there because he won't play either Rotterdam or Dubai.
Perhaps they ran out of space on the website page?
;)
Or, he's keeping tournaments in reserve and waiting to see how the year pans out.
Andy is on the entry list for Beijing having missed it last year. Djokovic and Nadal are also playing
Andy is returning to Vienna to play the Erste Bank Open at the end of October.
Odds will be delighted! :dance:
Now this could be perfect...a visit to Vienna is top of my bucket list...a visit to Vienna which includes Andy double perfect, and I have a special birthday in October! Mmmm. Thinking this could be very tasty!

Can't find anything in the cache, but I have a vague recollection he maybe played Queens and Wimbledon too ;)
The field for Beijing Oct 3-9.

Andy will be playing in Shanghai too and though it isn't up on his website schedule yet, he is listed on their website as one of the players due to play in Vienna erste bank open 500 October 24th - 30th. This is also listed on the ATP website. As his own website can be slow to be updated i'll keep checking back. It would make sense for him to play everything he can if he's still hoping for that number 1 slot. Hopefully it won't result in tiredness for the WTF or Davis final (when we get there...confidence lol)

Don't they usually change to his tournaments if they know in enough time?
They do usually show it of Andy is there. It might just be an accidental omission from their advertised schedule. They are the best for organisation. They are showing the Vienna one.

I contacted them and was told on Monday they are still showing the Japan tournament. We shall see.
Andy's schedule is beginning to take on the look of 2014 when he knackered himself trying to qualify for O2. :eek:

Got a feeling that Beijing player list might look quite different in a couple of weeks time. Of the top 5 seeds, only Nadal looks a certainty to be there.

He would be better to leave out Beijing. Why are players likely to fro out?
I wouldn't be surprised by a withdrawal from Djokovic, raonic and tsonga as they all have injuries at the moment. But it's still a few weeks away. It's not uncommon for Andy to play the whole Asian swing. And he does usually play both Beijing (or Tokyo) and Shanghai. I would expect the same this year. I think in 2014 he also played schzenzen but he's not playing there. He may be playing a lot in October to get enough points for no. 1 that he doesn't have to play Paris in the event we end up in the Davis final. Not playing Paris would give him a better shot at the WTF title. Which he'd want. I think even if you don finish at 1 you feel it if you win there. I remember a few years ago where nadal took 1 back but djoko beat him to get the WTF title. Nadal said that made djoko more like one. And it made him favourite for the AO the next year.
As he skipped the Canadian Open, doesn't Andy have to play Paris if he doesn't want to carry a 0 point penalty?

Yes, I think he does.

Andy played Shenzhen in 2014 as he needed the points to qualify for London. Not an issue this time so he can pick and choose his tournaments. Other than being knackered following the Olympics, Cincinnati and NY swing, I don't think his body is in too bad a shape. With a couple of weeks off before Beijing, he should be fine for it. He's certainly more likely to turn up there than Djokovic.
Only 3 teams have been officially announced who are playing the Hopman Cup, Switzerland(Federer/Bencic), Czech Republic(Pavlasek/Kvitova) & USA(Sock/Vandeweghe) but the full schedule has been released and it includes a GB team. However I wonder if Andy is playing as GB are in the same group as Switzerland and he would play Federer in the first match on 2nd January. Normally they split the "stars" in separate groups. Maybe it's Kyle or Dan. Other teams playing but not yet announced are Germany, Spain, France & Australia.
Nadal is playing Brisbane so he will not be in a Spanish team. Are Australia on the other side of the draw?
Hopman Cup Schedule (http://hopmancup.com/schedules-draws)
A: Switzerland, Great Britain, Germany, France
B: Australia, Spain, Czech Republic, USA

I've only just noticed that there's a tournament missing at the end of the year. What's happened to the hard court in Spain (was it Valencia?) that was on at same time as Basel? It now seems that Vienna has taken over that slot. I know Andy won that at least twice.

20-09-2016, 09:40
Can I ask what and when are the Masters that Andy is obliged to play ? After the well publicised time-out injury at the DC it wouldn't be difficult for him to cry off the first at least as injured. Is that Beijing ?
Sorry - I really must make a note of all of them next year - my memory isn't what it was.............

As a commitment player* Andy has to play ALL the Masters 1000's which are mandatory.
However, commitment players reaching certain criteria can opt out of 1, 2 or more Masters per year.
I really don't have time this morning to write it all out but you can look it up on the *ATP Rules.
Simple fact is that this year Andy can skip 1 Masters per the Rules.
He's already done that (Cincy) so he has to play the rest of them.
He can withdraw if injured (and there are stringent checks) but if
he doesn't play he gets a 0 pointer which affects his rolling ranking
the 0 must be counted.
I'm sure someone else can explain it better; I'm just too tired.
I thought Andy had skipped the Canadian Open but played Cinci. Wasn't it Djokovic who skipped Cinci? Anyway, no matter which, I don't think he can skip another without penalty.
Yes you are right Alis. He reached the Final of cinci. But as you say regardless of which he can't skip another without a penalty. He is going ahead with the charity match tomorrow, but I would be surprised if he didn't withdraw from the Beijing 500, it's harder to play tour matches than exhibition ones. I guess we'll have to keep our eyes peeled.

I do hope that if he still feels not at his best he skips Beijing. Its not compulsory and the extra days can only help the build up to WTF, and on to the one I believe he really wants now - The Australia Open
Andy on Radio Scotland "will decide rest of year after SSEC" Straight from horse's mouth.
Andy's announced on facebook he's playing the Mubadala Championships in Abu Dhabi (Dec 29-31) so does that mean his pre-season training will be in Dubai as it was last year and that he'll be playing the Dubai leg of the IPTL (Dec 13-15)? If he is playing the Hopman Cup then it's a quick turnaround as his first match will be the 2nd January although he's played that schedule before.
I have to say I'm surprised about Andy's pre-season training being in Dubai. I felt sure that, now that Lendl's back, he would do his December stint in Miami.

Is it though? Bardot has only said that he's playing the Mubadala in Dubai just before New Year.
Didn't he do Miami for a couple of weeks in December one year and then have a few days in the UK before going on to Dubai and then Oz?
Maybe he's taking a different approach to the training and not doing the intensive stuff?
I'm sure one year did Miami in early December (pre Christmas). I guess he wouldn't want to be all the way in Miami too close to the start of the AO because it's a longer journey. I was trying to think about his training last year but I guess with Kim very pregnant and a different coach last year that may have impacted on his choices at the time.
You may well be right, SD. Andy has said that he's approaching his training differently these days so it may well be Miami after all. I would have thought that he would have wanted Lendl to be there.
There is also the Zika virus outbreak in Miami at the moment but no idea if it is in Andy's area or will be there at the time of year Andy willbe there.
I would like to see Andy at next Tuesday's Olympic and Para Olympic parade in London, only because I'll be there. He didn't make it, four years ago, due to a certain final.

He is certainly one of the people who really deserves to be there!
Is Fed arranging Andy's schedule without asking him? ;)
Roger Federer @rogerfederer
I’ll miss playing this fall but will be back to Switzerland with Match for Africa 3 on Apr 10, 2017,playing 2x Olympic champion @andy_murray
This is on the Monday immediately after the Davis Cup QF and should GB beat Canada in the first round, the tie will be either away to France or Japan. Maybe this is an indication that Andy's not intending playing DC next year.

Andy's confirmed he will play Doha at the beginning of January after the Mubadala Championships in Abu Dhabi. He also says he intends to play Davis Cup in Canada and thinks the tie will be in Vancouver.

18-10-2016, 08:41
Djokovic won Doha last year so has 250 to defend there. More evidence it seems that Andy is all out for the number 1 spot.
LC the fan
18-10-2016, 09:12
I did think Andy, with his 30th birthday approaching, may start to slacken a bit on his schedule It appears not. Maybe he is thinking he will make the most of the time he has. I'm sure its all been thought out but I hate to see him play when obviously tired
It might be that with the current situation with Djokovic seemingly off kilter, and Nadal and Federer not really in the game, he sees the possibility of getting to No 1 over the next couple of months a real possibility. In his mind a final push to the summit might well be worth it. Realistically the next two - three years are the final ones where he can push for more Grand Slams.
Winning a Grand Slam - Check
Winning Wimbledon - Check
Winning Olympic Gold - Check
Winning The Davis Cup - Check
Reaching No 1 - tantalisingly close
I suspect the No 1 ranking has become his current major focus. Once he has done that I imagine it will then be a total focus on the GS's he hasn't got.
I am also expecting another child to be on the cards sooner, rather than later.

Not surprised he is playing Doha when he is already playing in Abu Dhabi but DC in February does surprise me.

Hope he doesn't tire himself out too much before the Australian Open. He still has plenty of points to defend there but maybe he's just giving himself a bit of leeway.

He normally plays in Perth so Doha just substitutes that (and offers points). Abu Dhabi is I think only two matches.
Andy didn't play any tournaments in February last year so I wonder what his schedule is for next year. 2 weeks after Davis Cup is Rotterdam (Feb 12, Wawrinka has just been announced as playing) and previously there was a week between it and Dubai (19 Feb) but it's the following week next year which isn't ideal if planning to play both. Acapulco (Feb 26 with Nadal, Raonic & Del Potro) is the week after although I'm not sure Andy enjoyed the humidity when he played there in 2014.
Correction: It's the WTA event in Dubai which starts on 19th Feb, the ATP event is the same week as Acapulco.

If Andy is playing DC next year how on earth is he gonna manage that exho thingy with fed in Switzerland the very next day after quarters (if we make it)
DM article only mentioned Andy might play v Canada so perhaps he intends to skip Qrtrs like this year (if we get there).
I am also expecting another child ....

Andy has had a busy schedule. The good news is that he is in peak physical and mental condition unlike Al the other top 5 players. Hopefully he can now go on and win Atp Paris and London to claim the number 1 spot. Followed by sports personality of the year and then knighthood!
Not surprised he is playing Doha when he is already playing in Abu Dhabi but DC in February does surprise me.
Really?! Why?? It doesn't surprise me one bit. He has always said he will play DC if fit. He clearly enjoys it and I believe it is a priority for him, despite what everyone else seems to want for him ;) :whistle:
themass15
19-10-2016, 11:59
The only reason I said that is because the tie is the other side of the world and his daughter will be celebrating her first Birthday on 7th February. I am sure he will play if he feels fit enough.
sir coolerking
19-10-2016, 14:41

Think they might be wary handing out a knighthood to an Olympic Gold medal Winner and Sports Personality of the Year. The last one they gave it to now seems to have a somewhat chequered history to defend.
I reckon Andy will be knighted when he retires.

And plenty time enough IMO.
If Andy is playing DC next year how on earth is he gonna manage that exho thingy with fed in Switzerland the very next day after quarters (if we make it)
If the QF is away to France then Zurich is almost next door but if GB are playing in Japan and Andy plays then Fed would surely require a substitute even if Japan is 8 hours ahead. It could be argued that a Japanese team even with Nishikori is beatable by a GB team without Andy although he'd get some flak if the day after GB losing, he's playing an exho in Switzerland.
Confirmation that Andy (along with Federer) is playing Dubai next February. Still no information if he's playing any other tournaments (like Rotterdam) in February.
themass15
22-12-2016, 17:41
I saw his schedule on the Andy Murray fan Forum. He is only scheduled at present for Dubai & Queens as 500 tournaments.
Andy is not on the entry list for Rotterdam (Feb 13-19) so Dubai is the only tournament he's scheduled to play between the Australian Open and Indian Wells. Djokovic isn't scheduled to play any in the same period but hasn't ruled out changing his schedule. I think they're both playing scheduling chicken and waiting to see what happens in Melbourne. ;) I wonder if Andy does ask for a Rotterdam wild card it will mean he won't play DC in Canada.
Leon has already hinted that he doesn't expect Andy to play in Canada.
I hope for those of you who are going, particularly Roast Lamb he plays, but realistically this year should be about him and other fields to conquer. Wining at least 1 GS plus holding on to the No 1 slot long enough to get ahead of Boris will more than do me for this year - well that and a Federer laying down his racquet. Not I hasten to say because of dislike, but he has been a great ambassador for the game and I don't want more images of him flat on his face. His fans deserve better than that.

Hewitt earned a lot of kudos in my eyes continuing as long as he did simply playing for what appears to be the love of the game, if the goat where to go down the same path I for one who have a smidgen of admiration for him (for the first time in my life)
I think Hewitt played for the sheer love of the game. I think Federer feeds off the adulation and worship of his fans. Very different motivators. Old Father Time, is not going to wait for Federer much longer.
Oh I agree with that entirely. However if fed gets to the stage where he regularly goes out to no hoppers and still carrys on. Then and only then I will be impressed

As I posted on the AO thread, Roger and Rafa may get drawn against each other in the round of 32!
One problem this year is he will have to have a couple of very good results before he can get to a ranking where he avoids difficult matches earlier on in tournaments.
The playing schedule for the top 20 (as of last week) players in February. Dominic :superman: Thiem. ;) Rotterdam should have an interesting first round draw given there are only 8 seeds.

I think the most important date, in Sir Andy's schedule, will be going to Buckingham Palace to collect his knighthood. Everyone else, including a certain golden couple, seem to have been there. If I knew the date, I would stand outside the palace and hope for a glimpse.

You're very welcome, enjoy.
As for Andy's come back?
Don't worry Andy's return always hit's when one least expects and with considerable force.
The anticipation is mounting.
Looking at recent interviews, Andy seems very happy in his own skin at the moment which is great to see, I have no doubt that he'll be back to his best very soon.
Andy to defend his China Open (http://www.chinaopen.com.cn/2017-07-18/docen-ifyiakwa4440669.shtml) title in October.

It's just the usual PR thing as explained above. Like when Rafa said he was playing at Queens. It didn't mean he wasn't playing before then!

Does anyone have any news on this?

It probably won't be the Queen; she goes to Scotland for 2 months (Aug & Sept) every year. Although she usually holds an investiture at Holyrood during the summer sometime - this year it was w/c 6th July and at the investiture Gordon Reid collected his MBE. Most of the Royals go to Balmoral also at some stage in the summer and there's often no 'official' royal 'business' during August. Best you check the Court Circular ... https://www.royal.uk/

I'm not bothered at all about the #1 thing, 40 weeks as the World Number 1 would be 14th equal of the 26 players that have achieved it.
For so many years I feared it would be impossible for AM to get there.
To be at the Paris Masters final the day before it became official and then see all 5 matches at the O2, it was just the most amazing time.
Winning more slams & masters is all that matters now

I'm actually relieved though Nadal may overtake him at end of tournament.
Rafa will become #1 when he reaches the semi final. I expect Roger to become #1 after us open. Hopefully Andy will take enough time out to fully recover, however long it will require.
I would never have thought Fed would be #1 again :grrr:
This wasn't a surprise, selfishly I would have loved to see him play but I know it's not what's best and it is better than he rest and recover. Maybe in the absence of Murray and djoko, delpo and berdy can have a run :)
I would never have thought Fed would be #1 again :grrr:
Fantastic in a way though...... gives Andy a few fighting years yet!
Sigh! I'm really missing Andy! What keeps me going is that I know he is doing the right thing and I really hope he won't come back until he is 100% fit...I can thole for that long as long as I know that is the case.
Please discuss the anouncement that Andy is unlikely to play any more tournaments in 2017 on the following thread - http://www.andymurrayfanforum.com/forums/showthread.php?2254-Between-tournament-discussion-of-Andy&p=231671#post231671

Has anyone heard about the AM Live event? I'm holding off booking my flights for a while in the light of this.
I'm missing Andy too :( but sort of expected this.
According to the Telegraph website, he is still playing (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/tennis/2017/09/06/andy-murray-likely-miss-rest-season-due-hip-injury/)
Confirmation if it were needed that Andy's season is over as he officially withdraws from Paris with Simon the beneficiary. On the bright side he's apparently started practising again at the LTA in preparation for Andy Murray Live.

Agreed RB, however, I have also seen posted Jamie Delgado is helping the ATP at present, Andy has been seen at a Garden Centre and at a playground sitting on a chair rather than kneeling or playing. Like you I cannot find any mention of it on the internet but the total lack of news is very strange.
I have just downloaded the programme. The segment was on his artistic efforts. I think she was just waffling.
“There’s some modern art there. Can you guess the celebrity painter? Well this kind of little blobby thing in the centre that looks a little bit like a tennis ball, is Andy Murray. Poor wee Andy has taken up painting while he recovers from his injury. He posted that on his social media. Good on him because he must be grrrr, you know annoyed that he can’t go and play tennis, and won’t be at Wimbledon
, but he’ll be back”.
The segment was about 25 seconds. It’s on ITV Catch Up if you want it, at about 15 minutes). I don’t think it’s anything to panic about.
It was being discussed elsewhere ... all scaremongering! Totally agree RB, if there was any truth there would be a proper announcement or at least tennis journalist mumblings ... I do wish people would stop it! :rolleyes:

By entering before he loses Wimbledon points it saves him relying on protected ranking or wild cards. That way he can use them for other events.
I heard on radio five live, last night, he's going to play in Washington at the end of this month. Russell Fuller was on the breakfast news, this morning, and he confirmed that Andy's name is on the list of entrants, at the moment.

Ive really enjoyed Wimbledon this year - the women's game is very strong and exciting at the moment - especially with Serenas return.

I particularly enjoyed seeing some of our juniors, putting faces to names plus our rising female players. So much less stress this year as I wasn't that bothered who won (as long as it wasn't Federer!). However - I am happy to have enjoyed it once like this and will be very happy to see Andy back next year.

Just this! Exactly how we felt too. Supporting Andy and supporting Wimbledon are like two different things- fabulous when they collide but both also separately fabulous.
Yes I join all those who really enjoyed Wimbledon and being there this year was a big bonus for me. I thought it was great and it never fails to produce compelling tennis. And get this, I have watched and loved Wimbledon long before Andy came on the scene, his arrival was the best thing ever and upped the enjoyment multiple times, but when that is over, I will continue to watch and enjoy Wimbledon as I always have. It just has that magic appeal which I live for every year.

Well Wimbledon was pretty unexciting for the TV viewer for the first week and overshadowd by the football.. (So glad when Sue and Clare stopped saying 'we won'. Are they in the team?) But some great matches in the second week meant it then really took off.
I've also watched Wimbledon for many years and hope to continue to do so for many - but the Andy years will never be surpassed - and I missed him this year. Loved his studio interview and commentary and how great did he look in his suit!

Just exhaustion/fatigue I reckon. Which is totally understandable. I would have withdrawn as well tbh after the idiotic statement from the TD.

My reaction too, Angie! I think that Andy's withdrawal was just him being sensible. He did promise us (and himself) that keeping healthy was now his #1 priority and it's good to see him sticking to that. He is still on the comeback trail, so we mustn't expect too much too soon. Last week was a real bonus!

Absolutely Caro. For the first year ever I didn't get to see much of Wimbledon this year and I missed it desperately - Andy or no Andy it's a magical fortnight. I actually find it a touch disrespectful to make any tournament, but especially one as old and prestigious as Wimbledon, all about any one player and that includes Andy (he'd say as much himself b/c he respects and enjoys watching lots of other players m and f). We all enjoy watching Andy most but suggesting a tourney's value/watchability hinges on the presence of a single player is the kind of thing the cowbell brigade come out with! - and personally that's not a road I'll ever be going down.:hide::rolling:

I will always watch Wimbledon if I can and the other slams as long as they are shown on platforms I can access. But plenty of other tournaments I would only watch a few big matches with particular players if Andy not there. Need a lot of spare time to be invested in a whole tennis match or several a week, and I could only afford to do that for somone I really care about - Andy. There are no others.
And Wimbledon first week was quite unexciting - 2nd week livened up as it usually does apart from damp squib finals.

Not concerned about Andy. From what I saw, his mind is screaming to be back in the fray and he was delighted to be back on court, he was just frustrated that his tennis mind and his body are not yet in tip top form. Really glad to see him looking after himself. Roll on Cinci!

Reading the posts about Wimbledon would like to say that for me Wimbledon has always been a special fortnight. I remember listening to coverage on the radio as a young girl because we didn't have television. Watching at a friend's house after school when her parents got a TV when we were about 14. Then watching at home from my late teens. I was totally obsessed. Married and with little ones I deprived them of Children's TV telling them their programmes weren't on during Wimbledon as I sneakily switched over to BBC2. We were able to watch during our free periods in the school staff room and for Virginia Wade's final win Alan brought in a portable tv and that Friday afternoon pupils got to watch tennis instead of being taught English. My first visits in the 80s with my son were amazing. Andy's appearance was just magical and was always totally absorbed in his matches. But Wimbledon is not just about one player and there have been many thrillers in his absence. My love for Wimbledon will never lessen. They are The Championships.
That all sounds so familiar to me Maureen. I did much the same type of thing! During Wimbledon meals were always pre-prepared salads as I didn't even cook. And the year Christine Truman played Angela Mortimer in the final a neighbour of my gran allowed me to watch on their tiny b&w screen. I was broken hearted when Christine, who back then I idolised, became injured and lost. Yes, Wimbledon is special and always will be.

I have nearly always been free in the Wimbledon fortnight (whether I was attending or not), apart from once when it was not possible and in 2012 only took 2nd week as holiday seeing as needed the other week for Olympics (had tennis tickets and a few other ones too)

21-09-2018, 17:43
For years I did a fairly complicated arrangement - a couple of afternoons and all of Friday off in the first week (depending when Tim and later Andy were playing) then every afternoon and all day Friday off in the second week. The grand idea being that I only used up five days holiday instead of ten, but still got to see pretty much everything I wanted to.
Last two years, tho, I finally decided to just take the whole fortnight off, and it’s soooo much better. More relaxing, no thinking about work, and if the weather is good, lots of gardening or just sitting in the sunshine in the mornings. Wish I’d decided to do that years ago!!
I remember when I was a child, and when Wimbledon was on, I always watched it at my grandparents (my mum's parents) house as my parents had to work all day. I still have vague memories of Boris Becker winning it.

But Wimbledon is not just about one player and there have been many thrillers in his absence. My love for Wimbledon will never lessen. They are The Championships.
Very much how I feel about it. Can't remember it not being a huge part of my life, even as a child in the 70s we would watch it then run out to the street with a sponge bat and ball to emulate the stars on tv- fighting over who would be McEnroe and who would be Connors. My first trip to Wimbledon was in 1996 and I will never forget how I felt the first time the grounds came into sight. My friends know better now than to look fir holidays that clash with any part of the Fortnight- had a couple of years where I missed the final weekend- it was like reading a book and someone tore out the last chapter. I then put my foot down. The Andy tears have been magical ( the henman era was fun too) but the event is even bigger and will always be a hugely anticipated Fortnight.
I have been in love with tennis since 1953; I remember my first tennis racket, a second-hand big, heavy wooden one I could hardly lift, and my joy a few years later when I was given a new Slazenger with press (joint Christmas and birthday present that year). For many years I enjoyed playing as well as watching.Once I started work, I always took the 2nd week as holidays to watch Wimbledon, much to the amazement of my work colleagues, and made my one and only trip there in 1995 on a ground ticket costing £8. Over the years, friends and family knew not to visit or phone during those two weeks! Of course when Andy came on the scene, my enjoyment went up to much greater levels; I am eternally grateful to him for the pleasure his well deserved success has given me. I have to say this year for the very first time I watched very little; just watched highlights or picked up results at the end of the day. My two dogs were pleased as walks were maintained!

a possible addition to the Schedule? perhaps too close to Zhuhai
"Among several other tournaments it means he could play at the Murray Trophy – a new addition to the calendar, named after the Scot and his brother Jamie. It runs in Glasgow between 16 and 22 September, a week before Murray is due in Asia to resume his ATP Tour schedule."

He will fly home from Winston-Salem on Tuesday but is actively considering whether to compete in next week's Challenger event in Mallorca."I think for my body it would be a good thing because I do feel at that level I will be winning matches each week," Murray added.
"And I think it would be good for my game as well because I'm not quite seeing the points as I used to. And if I can get more matches, I'll start to work that out a little bit quicker, and see it faster.
"I would probably rather stay playing outdoors because the next couple of tour events I'm playing are outdoors in Asia, but I haven't given it tonnes of thought."

Great to hear how many tournaments Andy is considering :)
Just heard on BBC Scotland News about Andy's possible play in Mallorca - good to hear. I wish him all the best.:thumbup:
Confirmed with BBC today.

Andy Murray confirmed for Rafa Nadal’s Mallorca Challenger next week. Makes sense, and not that unusual - both Kyle Edmund & Kei Nishikori have won Challengers after returning from injury in the past couple of years.

So, just in case Andy/team decide a bit more match practice is needed before Zhuhai ... here's a list of scheduled Challengers (outdoor/hard court only) in Europe/Far East. USA/Americas probably not viable for jetlag reasons and there are no ATP 250/500s in those weeks.
w/c 2/9/19
CH Jinan (China)
CH Cassis (France)
w/c 9/9/19
CH Turkey
CH Shanghai

Can't get Amazon Prime in Portugal. Looks like they're showing these on tennis tv. Does anyone know if the matches are available to play back after? I'm not going to be able to watch live stream and don't want to subscribe to something useless!

Tennis TV is brilliant for replays of (I think) all matches they have shown as well as a number of classic matches back to 1990.

Matches from Cincinnati, Winston Salem and US open are still available on Prime replays if that helps :)

Interesting 'addition' to Andy's schedule:-
Andy Murray has planned a four-week period of rest after Antwerp to welcome a new addition to his family, although he will be on standby to head back to London next week in case of an early arrival.

A little more on this ... from the BBC website. (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-50020902)
Kim, 31, sparked pregnancy rumours in July after arriving at Wimbledon wearing a maternity top while cheering on her husband in a mixed doubles match with Serena Williams. Now Sir Andy, 32, has confirmed their third child is expected imminently.
The Dunblane tennis star said he may need to rearrange his playing schedule depending on the timing of the new arrival.
Sir Andy told The Times: "Obviously the baby can come any time from pretty much next week. "I would adjust my schedule if I couldn't go to Antwerp. "My plan is to play Antwerp and then I am done through to the Davis Cup. "If the baby came early, I would miss Antwerp and then maybe play at the Paris Masters."

Just heard that on radio - yes, good decision although I was looking forward to seeing them play. Hope Australia goes ahead ok!

Sensible precaution even if it would have been beneficial match play in other circumstances.

Good decision from Andy and Dan.
Disappointed lots, though.
Hopefully AO will be able to, safely, go ahead and will be worth the wait!
Agree with his decision and relieved I didn't buy tickets. I was really torn as would have loved to see Andy live again. I'm 5 hours away from Delray Beach and had tickets in my cart, before I sadly decided not to risk going. There will be people around from all over the place. Also, I'm sure there would have been no chance of getting close to the players so decided to watch from home.

Sounds sensible given the current situation
