Andy Pandy

The two Andies (Andys?), Murray and Roddick, have just gone out to play. May the best Andy win.

Question: when the crowd shouts "Come on Andy!" how will Andy or Andy know which Andy they mean?

Update: Rebecca has asked me not to say who wins, as they're delaying broadcast over there. Well, it's early days, but I'm pretty sure the winner is going to be Andy.

Don't tell us who wins - they're delaying broadcast here until noon on NBC.

I'm torn, torn!

Given that Andy has lost, perhaps a few more people from both sides of the Atlantic will tune into the Tour de France, which starts tomorrow , 4th of July, iin Monaco.

Away from the celebrations in the U.S., the American cycling maestro, Lance Armstrong, seven times winner of Le Tour, rides again (- he's 38 in September).

The two competing favourites to win this year are Armstrong's team mate Contador, and last year's winner, Sastre. (Britain's Cavendish is a top sprinter, and may win a few stages early on.)

The route, over three weeks, is awesome, with some high mountain stages singled out for the last week:

I haven't been able to raise much interest in tennis and Wimbledon since Andre Agassi's heyday.
Now he was also Andy, just a bit exotic.
There may be something in this . . .

It's really hard to care which Williams sister wins tomorrow, but I'll be routing for Andy in the men's final.

The planned starting point for the 2010 Tour de France is

ROTTERDAM.
