Gimlestob/Henman vs Kunitsyn/Tursunov
(Preview)
Gimlestob seems to be quite friendly with a few brits and is now teaming up with henman for the doubles. Given the american's recent form i think he and henman have a decent shot at this, though they do face tough opponents in the russians.
I think it will be played tomorrow....
