Fast forward 11+ years, after a career that included a U.S. Open title, his only Grand Slam win followed by a number one ranking in 2003, along with one other appearance in that tournament's final (2006) and three at Wimbledon (2004, 2005 and 2009) - all losses to Roger Federer - Andy (ranked #27) won his 32nd and last pro final on the newly constructed hard-courts of Atlantic Station at the 2012 BB&T Open on July 22 by defeating Luxembourg's Gilles Muller 1-6, 7-6 (2), 6-2.
