Andy has drawn Ugo Humbert in the first round. They have played each other once, with Andy beating the Frenchman 3-6 7-5 6-2 in the semi final before going on to take the title in Antwerp in October 2019.

If Andy plays like he did in NY he'll stand a great chance, if he plays like he did in Rennes, well not so much.

I'm quietly hopeful - personally unsurprised Andy didn't pick up where he left off in NY, after break of several weeks. Hopefully Rennes down to rustiness rather than injury, especially since no rumblings from journos who are very quick to pick up on bad news. Let's see.

Here's hoping Andy can find form, avoid ridiculous toilet-breakers and stay healthy this autumn. Good luck Andy!

Now they have changed their minds and have him playing on Tuesday, which I imagine could be correct!!:thumbup:

Q Schnur leads WC Pouille by 1-0 sets, 3-3 in the 2nd with Schnur to serve.

Andy's match follows this; I'm betting this one will go to 3 if Pouille gets his act together.

You are right - third set starting - so I won't be able to watch Andy live tonight. Hope he plays well.

Pouille takes the 2nd set; into a 3rd set we go.

:facepalm:
Pouille won ... and will play [1]Hurkacz in R2.
The winner of that match will play the winner of Murray v Pospisil.

Hurkacz has beaten Pouille in straight sets so Andy will play the no 1 seed tomorrow.x

QF: Giron leads Gojowczyk by 4-2 in the first set and serves next.
I'm hoping for a quick match from these 2 as I've to go out at 3.45pm and don't want to miss Andy playing!!! although I know I can watch it on Prime replay)

So, it's gone to a 3rd set ... but they are rattling through the games so there's a chance Andy will be on court by 3pm!

Time for tunch.
I got up late so that's a cross between lunch and tea ...
