You can say that again! Two excellent wins for the boys, just when it looked looked as though things were stuck in "bad" mode, with arguably the greater going to Bamfs & Goody for unexpectedly upsetting the top seeds! smile

Excellent wins, but I'd rather they did it in singles! Both would do fine, obviously. wink

Richard & Josh are both 1st on Court on Tuesday.

This event must be complimented for an excellent gallery of all players, not just the home players as many events do.

They are quickly avilable after each day and are named.

Excellent wins from the lads.

Although the picture in the gallery definately isn't Bamford and Goodall whatever the caption says.

No but 'Gonzalez and Julien 1' is, so they just got a little mixed up between the two opponents.

helki · Futures qualifying

Good wins from the two Brit teams.

Hope Goody and Bloomers can do as well in their respective singles.

Bloomers has the harder task but...

You beat me to it by 28 seconds, mjd! Mixed fortunes in the singles! hmm

Tough draw for Bloomers, though... furious

wolf · Tennis legend

Goodall will play either the 5th seed Prakash Amritraj or Victor Estrella, the match delayed probably because Amritraj had a long flight from India after Davis Cup weekend. In the doubles, Goodall & Bamford will play Estrella & Ikaika Jobe, and in the only match played today Bloomfield & Skupski will play Victor Romero & Antonio Ruiz-Rosales last on Court 4.

L16: Josh Goodall WR 303 v (5) Prakash Amritraj (IND) WR 254

mjd · Challenger qualifying

Bad news, especially with such a promising draw :-

Romero & Ruiz-Rosales [MEX, WC] def Bloomfield & Skupski [GBR, 4] walkover!

Dont know reason yet

Stircrazy · Tennis legend

Now what's going on? Bloomers & Skups have handed their QF opponents, Victor Romero & Antonio Ruíz, a walkover into the SF!

Meanwhile Goody plays Amritraj at 17.00 BST tomorrow & then he & Bamfs face the WCs, Victor Estrella & Ikaika Jobe, in the same half of the doubles draw at 21.00 BST ("after a rest")!
