Andy at BNP Paribas Primrose Challenger
Aileen
Quote
EDITED 13 May

Andy got a wild card into this tournament which runs from 14 - 19 May.  He played here last year as the No. 2 seed (and got presented with a birthday cake as well) but was defeated in his first match 6-3, 6-0 by an on fire Stan Wawrinka, which was his sole loss across 16 Challenger-level matches last year.  This year with a world ranking of No. 77 he's seeded No. 7, having dropped 20 places since Miami.  Arthur Fils is the No. 1 seed, with Pedro Martinez as No. 2.  Wawrinka is also playing this year along with fellow Tour veterans Richard Gasquet and Roberto Bautista Agut.

The other British interest is Dan Evans.

Matches can be watched online on Challenger TV.

Aileen thank you for those details. I cannot find a draw or when it is due to be made. Do  you know more? I thought that they are due to start today.

Thank you Tonedial. Interesting as he still is awaiting his opponent to get through qualification.

Also interesting that Andy is now the No. 7 seed, with Dan Evans No. 5, Baez and Itcheverry having withdrawn, as has Gasquet.


Further info - Andy has been trying out different racquets in the run-up to his return.

Aileen I wish Andy would try out a different coach.

Don't see the point if he's planning on  retiring at the end of the summer.  Not only that but I doubt anyone would want to coach a player whose career is almost over.
