Just for you USM, because I'm lovely!

i’m here with Eric Butorac and Jamie Murray, 2007 AT&T Challenger doubles champions winning 64 67 107 in the final breaker. Let’s get your take on it what you got Jamie?

JM: erm, I think we played a good match, er we got a break early in the first set, maybe a good call on our side (smile). Then we had a couple of break points, chances in the second set, didn’t quite do it. they played a great tiebreak, I thought we had a good chance, and then the tiebreak came down to a couple of points, and we hit some good returns and we got the job done. So, (pumps fist in air) title for us!

Eric, you guys got down 20 in that last set buster, reeled off 7 straight… (EB: yeah)…you know, is your back hurting from carrying this guy? (points to Jamie) or what? (all laugh)

EB: yeah, no I don’t think that was it at all. Umm, I knew we could play a good breaker if we still got a lot of first serves going, um we kinda did that, popped a couple of returns, and then, um, yeah, chips kinda fell our way.

We did a live blog for the match, did one for er Britishtennis, and then of course on our website er, wanna give any shout outs to anybody in the country?

EB: yeah, I know a bunch of my buddies are back home watching. I got a hard time for not saying hi to my mum last time so I’d like to say hi to my mum and then, um, a couple of my buddies wanted to hear ‘bob and Rajeev, we got your chips’. (laughs)

JM: I gotta say hi to Britishtenniszone.net I know all you guys keep in touch with what, er not just me but all the other British guys, when we’re off travelling, playing tournaments, so um, hey to you (said with a fist pump) keep watching and keep supporting.

Congratulations guys, hope to see you back here next year. Good luck.

Thanks Bethan, indeed you are

Can't believe that Jamie got the wrong site though
How could he   I'll have to send a message to that bad chicken wings and make sure he gets it right next time  

He said "britishtenniszone dot net" - so neither fish nor fowl!

Yeah it used to be the main British tennis one before this site....a lot of the Scottish lads went on there. Colin Fleming, his brother, his sister, friends etc.....unfortunately Colin's friends used to take the piss on there and got banned, lol.

At least the context (Craig mentioning posting the blog on here) made it plain which site was meant!

where do I sign?

the contrast with Joplin this week is not reflecting well on USTA, perhaps we could hint as much to them!

Done.

I can't even find a website for Joplin - is there one?
