Is Memphis (singles or doubles) being shown anywhere?

 No live stream for Memphis sadly. There's Eurosport coverage of the semis and final so hopefully Andy will get that far and someone can do some commentary. Unfortunately Eurosport don't cover doubles so no coverage of Jamie's/Aucks matches no matter how far they get

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

Aucks is on Stadium, Jamie on court 1.


It starts in 30 min time.

Aucks obviously has the tougher match. Aspelin is ranked 18 and Lindstedt is ranked 45. In 2006, Aspelin made the quarters of the Aussie Open and Wimbledon, the semis of Indian Wells and 4 further ATP semis. Lindstedt made 3 ATP semis plus the finals of Las Vegas and Stuttgart. Both have had good starts to 2007, Aspelin reached the final in Auckland and Linstedt has made semis in Adelaide and Zagreb. However, these results were all with different partners and as a pair they lost in rd1 of San Jose last week.        

However, Haggard is a great doubles player, I felt he was the best player on court for large periods of the San Jose final. Both he and Aucks are big servers so they'll be tough to break.

Murray and Bootie's match could be tricky. They're definately favourites against Fisher and Parrott but both those guys have great doubles pedigree. 31 year old Fisher is ranked 29 in doubles and Parrott is currently ranked 71 (however he's been as high as 38).   In 2006, Fisher made the quarters of the Aussie Open, the 4th round at Wimbledon and the semis of the US Open. He also made 3 further ATP semis and won the title in Tokyo. Parrott actually played a lot with Butorac in 2006, they won 3 challenger titles (in Bratislava they beat Jamie Murray and Jordon Kerr in the final but lost in Tokyo to the Murray brothers). Parrott also made the 4th round of the Aussie Open and the French Open. However, Fisher and Parrott haven't started 2007 particularly well, last week in San Jose they lost in rd1.

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. . .
Yeah, sorry about that   It happened when I first made you mods and changed your user profiles so you have a title which is "moderator+...."   That means that your titles don't change automatically.

Full list of titles should be found buried somewhere in the "Updates to this message board" thread in the chat section. We'll be needing some new ones soon. A lot of us are going to pass the highest one at 4500 posts fairly soon

Or, if any of the mods want a copy of the list, pm me - I have a copy on my computer.

Back on topic - shame there is no livestream for Memphis. Although with both doubles matches on at the same time, watching a scoreboard will be easier anyway.

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



It was a joke, Arka, that's why I put "lol".  Though my latin is very rusty, it is over 50 years since I last did anything with it!

Yes, it's okay. I am not sure of what I said in any case.


I would love to learn Latin. Will have to take a course...

I wonder if Doug's will be getting any coverage earlier in the week on the Tennis channel ?

Lor, it's confusing trying to watch the scores of both matches at once.
