Oops! So he is. smile

Can't believe I printed off the draw & yet still managed to overlook his presence in it! Sorry, Jamie! ashamed

For a relatively valuable tournament - & in Germany, to boot! - the Heilbronn live scoreboard is a real shocker: only Gabashvili's & Motti's names (& their scores were visible!

), but I think Hutch & Parrott won 6-3 7-6(6)! smile

Delgo & Müller get their campaign under way in the fifth & final match on Court 1 tomorrow, 09.00 GMT kick-off for the first match.

And with a bit of luck, whoever's responsible for the site will have done something to make the names of both pairs involved in doubles matches visible on the LS by then...! biggrin

I presume Hutch & Parrott won 6-3 7-6(6) ?

No confirmation on their site or the ATP pdf ?

1) I was forced to make certain assumptions from what I could actually see on the LS, but that's how it appeared to me this morning...

2) There's still sod all on either site!

Finally confirmed on the ATP site!

Tournament site not currently available, conceivably

because it's been taken off-line while they fix certain problems...

Jamie and Muller won 5 and 2 - I THINK! Website is still dodgy.

That was my impression, too, DJ! wink The unseeded Dutch pair, Smit & van Haasteren, or, more likely, the German fourth seeds, Petzschner & Peya, in the QFs (opposite half of the draw to Hutch & Parrott. )...

Hutch & Parrott vs James Cerretani & Filip Polasek (USA/SVK): fifth & final match on Court 1 tomorrow, with play in the first scheduled to get under way at 10.00 GMT.

* I think (the LS appears to be no longer available!) that I may have jinxed Petzschner & Peya, the fourth seeds (German & Austrian respectively, not both German as I first said), by saying that they seemed the more likely opponents of Delgo & Müller in the QFs, because the last time I saw a score, they were a set & 2-4 down against the Dutchmen...

Edited to confirm that P&P did indeed lose to Smit & van Haasteren, 5-7 6-7(8)! wink

Yeah, just got home & checked the site. Things are going from bad to worse for the Brits this week.

What price Delgo & Müller following suit tomorrow? hmm

I hope not Stircrazy but...

From the score in the Hutch/Parrott match it looked a close one but as often happens the balls seem to bounce for the opposition and not any team with a sniff of a Brit in it.

I am so pleased to be proved wrong for once! wink

7-6(4) 6-4 to Delgo & Müller!

Mind you, I feared at one point in the middle of the second set that they were going to blow it: they were 3-0 up to begin with, but were promptly pegged back to 3-3!

Now, they dumped out the fourth seeds in the first round. Let's see what they can do against the top team, Kunitsyn & Qureshi (RUS/PAK), presumably tomorrow...
