That's a shame - hope he recovers quickly!

And then he became Ancic. End of his career imo.

That's a shame for Andy... btw his hair grew back quickly!

so that means tsonga will be the 4th seed right?

Tough luck for him. A valuable week lost in the run-up to RG.

Sorry to hear that Andy.. get better soon. Anyone know if he did it recently.. in training? maybe

I heard that Kim did not take kindly to Andy's interview with Frost.

I have to admit I am a little surprised at the lack of concern about Murray's injury...

Looks like in general the activity in 606v2 has come down a lot.

The (forced) departure of certain posters with strong opinions has left the forum a bit flat...

Or simply that the back-stabbers aren't taking up the bait laid down by Hawkeye which is just as it should be. Andy has a back injury - evidently nothing serious or I am sure there would have been more made of it. A week or so of rest will suffice so no need for a full scale debate into it or else where are the topics for every other injured player on the men's circuit?

Its been a quiet week tennis-wise...the top level action starts again from today. Lets not forget Djokovic and Federer particularly havent played much recently...thats what tends to keep these forums ticking over - the top players against each other.
I dont know about others - and dont get me wrong - but I've often got better things to be doing than posting ad nauseum on tennis forums as the evenings get lighter - I'd rather playing be playing tennis than talking about it given the chance! That said I'm sure there'll be lots to discuss this week seen as the courts are causing controversy amongst the top players. Even Dr Ivo. Murray'll be back (pardon the pun) soon.
There's lots of high level matches starting today...we need a match thread!
