So if Andy was in the Rafa Academy in Greece, but not there with Jack, did he just drop in during a family holiday?

Omg Dunlop theory turns out right

Goodbye to this pretty promo

[drapernation]

Yeah he’s practicing with a new racket! I hope this solves the problem🤞🏻

Any bets on which brand he’ll end up with?

I’m leaning Yonex but only because it’s what Andy switched to at the end of his playing career.

with Andy :)

[drapernation]

Is the light deceiving me in that video or is that a blacked framed brand-less racket?

Is he testing out new ones to help his arm?

Andy Murray I love you and the good changes you’re making for him ❤️

[drapernation]

I was just wondering when will Jack give a sign that he's alive on court but the Washington tournament just posted that he's there and training with Andy 🥹

A sign of life and a sign of great things ahead.

And a reminder that no news isn’t always bad news. Just Jack doing things his way.

[drapernation]

Andy is in DC with Jack 🥳🥳🥳🥳

The dream team continues!!

I’m glad Andy is as all in on Jack as we are 🥰

Toby Samuel and Jacob Fearnley are continuing their good Wimbledon form in the challengers this week!

Will have a few more Brits into the top 100 before too long 🤞

katiecboulter and alexdeminaur had known each other for years from the tennis circuit, but it wasn’t until both athletes happened to find themselves staying at the same Melbourne hotel at the same time that romance blossomed. Six years later, the tennis stars tied the knot at a romantic ceremony in Tuscany, where the bride hand-stitched a piece of fabric from her late grandmother’s wedding dress into her own custom lace gown. Click the link in bio for an exclusive look inside the celebrations.

Katie getting custom made Air Jordan's using lace from her dress for her wedding reception is both an excellent choice and a giant shame that she didn't get me to make them for her!!

I'm just gonna keep my expectations low and enjoy him being back on court playing matches no matter the tournament level (and hope that i don't see the word "withdrawal" anytime soon)

THIS.

I'll happily load up Challenger TV for him.

[drapernation]

Ohh imagine living in Brownsburg and Jack coming to your city 😂 I tried hard to watch him live in Euro swing but it’s impossible to plan with him 😭

Literally. Even when you know where he's going to be, getting tickets for the right day is a challenge so unless you can afford multiple days it's still a bit of a gamble unless you can buy them last minute.

I spent years trying to see Andy Murray at Queens and Wimbledon and either got the wrong day, or he'd lost in the 1st round when I went for a day later on in the tournament presuming he'd still be in!!

Nothing is guaranteed.

Forever grateful to have seen Jack already though!

[drapernation]

Is there any possibility for him to play US Open?

Let's work it backwards.

Quallies start on the 24th Aug, so the entry cutoff is going to be 3-4 weeks before that. 3rd August at best... which only gives Jack DC to change his ranking.

He'd need to be top 100-104 ish for direct entry so would need to gain 220 points in a week, aka get to the finals.

Win a round or two and he's definitely in the qualifying bracket. Lose first round and it's looking a bit dodgy!!

[drapernation]

JPJ is also playing Brownsburg so it’ll help them both to have some extra company!

Might even get a second Jack squared match 😁

[drapernation]

Or the arm is still not %100 and he didn’t want to go full power with top players now and slowly building up his fitness

There’s a week off between DC and the challenger which also feels like the right way to do things for a bit.

Slow and steady 🐢

[drapernation]

Honestly this is the best decision made in a long time; trying to return to the tour with an injury that hasn't fully healed simply doesn't work. The right thing is to start at lower levels to regain match rhythm, allow the arm to heal, collect points, and be fully ready for the new season.

Agreed. Even with injuries taken out the equation, the ranking isn’t there and I’m glad he’s being humble about it.

He’s done this before and he can do it again!

[drapernation]

Operation Challenger climb is go!

Same week as Cincinnati so is it a backup plan or does he know there’s no wildcard coming even for quallies?
