While uncertainty still reigns about Andy's participation in what would be his last ever Wimbledon, according to the draw if he does decide he's fit enough to play singles, he'll meet Tomas Machac in round 1.

In the doubles, which seem a bit more likely, Andy and Jamie will play the Australian pairing of John Peers & Rinky Hijikata, and If they get past them, the prospect of the No. 9 seeds Neal Skupski & Michael Venus in round 2.

Andy played another set today, indoors because of the rain.  Still doesn't have 100%  feeling and sensation in his leg.

“I'm going to play another set again tomorrow. I'm doing some physical testing in the morning to see sort of how far off I am from a physical perspective. Then I will probably make a decision tomorrow evening after that.

"I'm hoping with each day that passes that the likelihood of me being able to play will increase. I don't want to go on the court and it be awkward or not be able to be competitive.

"Obviously with doubles, although you're covering less distance and less court, you still need to be able to move pretty explosively."

I like Andy's honest analysis of these hot shots.

He's pulled out of the singles but will play in the doubles.

I don't want to sound pretentious, but this approaching end to Andy's professional tennis life is honestly feeling rather existential for me. I've followed his career to one degree or another for close to twenty years, and the trajectory and the successes and failures have coloured my whole view of the top level of the sport and indeed of all the other important players of his time. I realize that I've slowly been getting used to not tracking my experience of tournaments—especially the slams—based on Andy's pathway through them, but now that really isn't going to be there any more I am feeling kind of bereaved. It's going to be lonely on the tennis court without him.

I can relate to that.  It doesn't help either that I've spent much of the last four years opening match threads (not always easy!), so there's going to be quite a gap in my life now.  I've also stopped watching as many matches as I used to because none of the newer players come even close. to what you might call 'the old guard' of players.
