Week 43 - ATP - St Petersburg
Permalink  

I thought I'd start this because it seems to be that time of the week &, although there's a similar thread in the Andy Murray forum for him (he's the second seed behind "Davy-donkey"), it inevitably makes no mention of the fact that Aucks & Hutch will be reunited in the doubles there next week & I think it deserves to be flagged up.  Only trouble is, they're not seeded & have drawn the third seeds, Dlouhy & Vizner, in the first round! eek.gif

Not getting the luck of the draw at the moment.

Vizner is about to break into top 5 isn't he?

What a rotten draw. I'm happy to see the Brits back together though and hopefully they can pull of a shock please.gif

 Aucks and Hutch are second up tomorrow. I'm guessing that will be around 13.30 BST. omg.gifpray.gif

Shame, but not an unexpected result. They at least know what they're up against at this level of competition. If they're intending sticking together it will have been a good experience. Does anyone know if they are going to be playing together regularly, in future?

Do you think if Davydonkey gets beat 6-1 5-7 0-6 they will suspect him of throwing the match wink.gif

Good question, Drew - & almost spot-on with the score (6-1 5-7 1-6)!  He'll no doubt say he was simply beaten by the better man, but tongues will probably still wag...! wink  What a comeback from Cilic! clap.gifthumbsup.gif  Andy is now the highest seed left in the draw, so an excellent opportunity to claim his second ATP title of the year, but almost inevitably, he seems to be having a bit of a wobble ATM... please.gif
