Well done to Booty and Stretch!

I'm glad it was close, Goodall and Hutchins can take a lot from that into Wimbledon and hopefully that gives Goodall added confidence in the singles as well

Apart from a couple of pts in the first set Booray dominated....36/39 pts won on their own serve...very impressive..those 3 dropped pts where in the first set. Josh and Ross saved 8 of 9 BPs whereas Booray saved 2/3.

Hutchins never got broken and it was Josh that lost his serve twice in the second set after starting with several aces in the first set.

So thats 3 ATP titles this year so far for Booty and Stretch...what bet for their first grand slam now ?

Surely they must have lost more than 3 points on serve. They got broken.

So, a third ATP title for B&S!

It's such a shame, though, that one pair had to lose, but today's match tie-break (I wish someone would hurry up & standardise the term used for the decider in doubles matches outside the Slams: I've opted for that one because it was the one they were using at Queen's last week &, as much as anything because, logically, a champion's tie-break can happen only in the final - yes, I know today's match was the final...

) was obviously one too far for the wild cards!

That said, even reaching the final will've done their combined ranking a power of good (just checked: 175 points for B&S, 120 for G&H!

)!

Well done, both pairs!

Anyone bothered to work out yet what effect it will have? Like you, imoen, I hope G&H's achievement this will give Josh a psychological boost for the Wimby singles (& both of 'em in the doubles!)...

P.S. Caught a very brief glimpse earlier of the end of the match on Sky Sports News. Judy was there, looking a very proud mum!

With this win Jamie moves up to WR33 and Eric to WR38.
