buggery.

Still, a Murray is on court. It's NEVER that simple.

Break right away please.


I'm still confident they'll pull through this one in straights, doesn't look as if it'll be as straightforward as it appeared 5min ago though. Even so, they're still doing excellently so far given it's first match on clay !

So they'll be top 10!




I still hold that I'm more realistic than pessimistic though wink

And I haven't been anything but optimistic about Jamie Murray's progress since July

True - best not forget that three days ago Jamie was in birmingham on indoor hard.

They're still doing very well.

I'd like a break here though if possible.

I just tried and something which looked "unsuitable" came up ! Dunno what's happened there, I assure you I didn't create that !

Both pairs holding really easily atm, tiebreak looks likely atm. 5th seeds may have a slight advantage as they're serving first, more pressure on Booty and Muz

Yeah, quite a change in surface. That court in Birmingham was really fast. Kohlmann was competing on clay in Belgium so he and Lindstedt definately had the advantage in preparation going into this one.

Anyone watching any of the Valencia tourney in the past ?  What's the speed of the clay like compared to tourneys like Monte Carlo and Barcelona ?

So it's Jamie serving to stay in the set, big test of nerve...I'm still confident tho, they always seem to pass those tests with flying colours

I watched some from Valencia last year on Eurosport.

I thought the conditions were a little slower because it's not quite as warm this early in April.

Also last year at times it was breezy which led to some of the topsurface gathering in clumps and causing variation in the bounce. I remember Safin saying "****ty court, man" to the umpire. Of course they could have improved it for this year.

Jamie and Eric struggling to get into their opponent's service games now. Eric must hold to stay in the set and take it to the breaker.
