Interesting choice of partner. Could be good: Economidis has won 3 Challenger doubles in the last year: most recently partnering Vliegen to win Sunrise. Go Jamie D!

Looks like Delgado has quit singles.


A and not a as this means that he won't be using up wild cards in Challengers.

Really hopeful he can enjoy a good swansong in DUBS for a few years and make it to top 50!

He can easily play for the next five years if he wants to. He's just 30 - that's nothing in doubles.

I'd blame it on the fact that Roger-Vasselin is in the form of his life!

Hope Jamie can find someone to partner with for a good run of tournaments

Shame about that considering Economdis' recent good form but this is only Jamie's 2nd tournament since last November !!! Plus it must have been quite a surface change going from Bath hard courts to Moroccon clay and clay is probably by far his least favourite surface.

Casablanca brings back bad memories of that 3-2 DC loss to Morrocco a few years ago doh

As the lad says, Roger-Vasselin is in the form of his life, he and Ascione made the New Caledonia challenger final at the start of the year and they've been well acclimatised in Morroco, making a challenger semi last week.

I agree, I can't see him retiring anytime soon with girlfriend Keothavong also having a good number of years left in her on the women's tour.

There've been a no of predictions that Jamie will retire this year but I can't see that happening with him being so close to top 100 and he's definately got the ability to make the top 50 in doubles.
