Only saw the last few games when Murray was 5-4 up, serving had match point and lost it I knew at that point Andy would lose he is brittle now at closing out matches and to me he looks slower on court. Andy bolts over through frustration his body is not the same. Andy has done so well playing with a metal hip. I see one last hurrah at Wimbledon!

I hope so - he deserves to get that. I'd like to see him play a few doubles events to close it down as well. I thought at one point that a last US summer and a finish at the US Open might be his plan, maybe Wimbledon or US Open? Partly to include the Paris Olympics. But I am not sure i can see him making the Olympics team, so why bother?

He was replaced by Roman Safiullin, who beat Muller in straight sets (7-6(4) 6-3).
Also Cam is out of next week as well.
GB Davis Cup team for Malaga - Jack Draper, Liam Broady, Neal and Joe (not serious, but it is starting to look like that will be a possibility!)

That is just a precaution by Cam. He will be fine.

Yeah, I know - was just being a little tongue in cheek and pessimistic rolled into one!

Is this because their lowest counter is already 90 points? Struggling to find doubles team breakdowns anywhere.

Can answer my own question. The answer is yes. Interestingly they are one of only 2 pairs whose 19th best event is worth 90 points so very consistent. However they haven't won an event about 250 level which is why they are on the cusp rather than in the Top 7.

Andy actually served for it at 5-2 & then at 5-4.

Sounds as though he wasn't a very happy bunny!

I don't think Andy's conduct of smashing his racket was a good example to our juniors. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/67265849

Hence my post two or three places higher. The headline has changed from a reference to the racket-smashing when I first posted the link to a claim that he's not happy with his tennis at the moment.

Lehecka and Shelton have withdrawn from doubles, leaving an alt spot to be filled. It seems vacant at the moment, Lloyd and Andy are showing as third alts on Darts, but maybe that is out of date and no doubt there are others ahead of them still?

They've been replaced by the Austrians, Erler & Miedler.
