ATP Memphis - Doubles

Doubles draw has been released!!

R1 (Top half):

(1) J Erlich/A Ram (Isr) WR 26 vs W Moodie (RSA)/ T Perry (Aus) WR 61 
Jamie Murray/Eric Butorac WR 125 vs Ashley Fisher/Travis Parrott (USA) WR 92
(3) S Aspelin/R Lindstedt (Swe) WR 60 vs James Auckland/Chris Haggard(RSA) WR 94
J Bennetaeau (Fra)/T Johannson (Swe) WR 132 vs R Ginepri/R Kendrick (USA) WR 130

Murray and Butorac play a regular doubles pairing in Fisher and Parrott, but on current form should be slight favourites. The top match could go either way - Todd Perry is a very good doubles player.

Obviously it was Huss that was injured in San Jose, so James has managed to pick up experienced doubles player Chris Haggard.

Draw- http://www.atptennis.com/en/common/TrackIt.asp?file=http://www.atptennis.com/1/posting/2007/402/MDD.pdf

There's lots of interesting 'history' with the B/M v F/P match ...

The very first time Butorac and Murray played together in LA last July, Parrott was playing with Jim Thomas and Butorac/Murray thrashed them 2 & 3.


Parrott then made the 'Buty call', as it were, and he and Butorac became a regular partnership, as Jamie went back to Colin - the two teams met the very next week in Vancouver and Parrott/Butorac won in two close sets.


Jamie then teamed up with Andy to beat Parrott/Butorac in R1 at the Tokyo Outdoor last October. Finally, Parrott/Butorac beat Murray/Kerr in the Bratislava Final last November.


It's a small world!

If Murray/Butorac get through, they are likely to face no. 1 seeds Erlich/Ram in the QFs - Andy should be able to give them a few tips about that!

Isn't it great to have two GB teams regularly in main tour doubles draws.

Jamie and Butorac will play number 1 seeds Erlich and Ram in the quarters if they can dispose of Parrott and Fisher in round 1. Erlich/Ram bt Moodie/Perry 6-3, 7-6(6).

Order of play for Tuesday has been released, and as expected there is no sign of the Brits (Aucks partner for this week lost to Jamie in the final of San Jose).

Which means there will be a feast of Murray, Murray and Auckland on Wednesday

I reckon that they can beat Erlich and Ram, given the sort of form they are in. Jamie and Andy gave them a close match in Bangkok.


Just noticed that I've gone past the Count in the post race. Shedboy, I'm coming for you.

Wow...that is cool that Auckland is playing with Chris Haggard this week. Chris is a seasoned doubles player who has been around for years. He is 35 years old. It just shows the respect that the top British Doubles players are getting now with Haggard playing with Aucks.

I know. It's going to be very difficult. But it could be done in a few years time...

I spend too much time out here but don't post that much.

Glad Aucks is OK (sorry about Huss though - hope he gets well soon).

Good luck to both Brits in the doubles, hopefully this time we'll get that match-up against the two!

Is Memphis (singles or doubles) being shown anywhere?

Both Jamie and Aucks kick off their campaign at 10am local time tomorrow (4pm British time).

Aucks is on Stadium, Jamie on court 1.

 Gah - I'm going out tomorrow afternoon and won't be able to follow it on the livescores. Hopefully both teams will do well.

My status never changes so I'm still a national champion. Oh well.

Good luck to both teams this afternoon, like Aria I'm out all afternoon so I look forward to (hopefully) good results when I come home!

Imoen, moderators status (or should that be stati lol) don't change automatically. You have to change your own - though actually I have changed yours a couple of times when I noticed it looked wrong. You should currently be Masters Series Champion*, so I'll change it to that  - but Grand Slam Champion comes up at 3900 posts, so watch out for that and change it for yourself if you like!

*That is, if David hasn't brought out a new series of titles, my list is quite old. . .

It shouldn't be 'stati' as that word isn't valid. The Latin plural of status is also 'status'.
