I don't know. Until he learns how to hit a consistently good and smart approach, the net is probably the last place Andy should try to get to.

But then again, he's not going to win matches by staying back, either.

The one thing that struck me last night in a positive sense was how Andy's backhand has, at times, become a weapon. That's an observation that extends back to many of the matches I've seen him play this summer. So it's not all going to hell in a handbasket for him.

I made that comment a lot during Wimbledon 09. The backhand was shockingly effective, I just don't know why he forgets about it so much.

Regarding net play, that's what I mean. Hire someone to focus on just that part of his game for 4 months. Show up in Australia with a new "approach".

But the return game out there is getting too good to keep playing his old style, big serve + push tennis.
