Max & Murray v Cermak / Dloughy are on court...

4-3* first set going with serve. C&D serving.

M&M v C&D

4*-4 First set 0-30 M&M serving

Drew · Dec 31, 2007

M&M seem to be struggling slightly..looking at the stats..had to save 3 BP so far...down 45/55 % of points won.

M&M v C&D

4*-4 First set 40-30...from 0-30 down...game MM dfs for deuce. Adv M&M

5-4* C&D to serve to stay in the set.

M&M v C&D

6-5* C&D serving to stay in the set....think this will go to a TB...C&D have not faced a BP so far !

15-0, 30-0...TB here we come... 40-0

GAME

*6-6 TB

The difference seems to be how each pair are coping with the second serves..C&D are winning over 70% whereas M&M is 33%.

ouch that's quite a substantial difference in the stats! thanks for doing the scores Drew, I'd completely forgotten this was going to be on this evening.

Hopefully M&M can sneak the tiebreak.

It looks like they're having ad points on deuce, I thought they'd abolished those for ATP tournaments?

When will the doubles tour have a single set of rules? It's no wonder they're struggling to keep fans!!

No thats my fault Bethan...they are NOT having Ad points. I thought I was missing something from the livescore...but i have not.

Drew · Dec 31, 2007
