Andy Ankle Update

Well we are now in London. Since the last time I posted here on the web site a few things have happened. During the World Team Cup Andy hit a bad patch of clay and sprained his left ankle. We worked hard for the next 5 days in an effort to give Andy a chance to play the French Open. Andy made very good progress and the day before his match at the French he was feeling pretty good on the court. But the ankle proved not to be ready for the explosive movements on the clay. He was able to run pain free but changing directions quickly was difficult. He put up a good fight but he just could not move 100% and at this level if you can’t move 100% it is very tough. I really feel if we had 2 more days he would have been close to 100%. It was just really bad timing to sprain an ankle.

So a couple of days ago we took the train from Paris to London. We took the tunnel under the English Channel which was pretty cool. We have been here for a day and half and have gotten a couple of good gym workouts in. Andy is going to start hitting some balls later today as we start the preparation for Queens and Wimbledon. The ankle was sore for a day after playing on it at the French but it feeling pretty good. It is now all about getting ready for Wimbledon which starts in 3 weeks.
