2 more break points wasted!!!

S/U lead *3-5

Auckland and Delgado have has 7 chances to break, but not taken any of them

Soares/Ullyett win the first 6-4.

Chance missed for Auckland/Delgado as they've had 7 break points across 3 games so really should have broken at some point you feel.

If they keep returning well though, you'd think they'd eventually get a break though

And Delgado is broken...

S/U lead *3-2

ForeverDelayed · Grand Slam Champion

S/U lead *5-4

Auckland/Delagdo saved 2 match points in the previous game.

Hope they can break here and get back into the match

Soeres/Ullyett win 6-4, 6-4.

Auckland/Delgado just didn't take their chance in the first set, and paid for it.

A match they could have won, but just wasn't to be

Boggo/Hutchins vs. Melo/Sa now on centre court.

Murray/Minryi couldn't beat them at Queens, so let's see what these two can do against them, and whether they can join Murray/Coetzee in the QF's

bogins get a love break to go 4-3 up :)

5-3* now...

Good stuff from Boggo and Hutchins here, and other than Boggo's first game they've been untroubled on serve. (and 86% 1st serves is excellent... bet Boggo would want that in singles)

Count Zero · Tennis legend

thye break again to take the set :)

6-3 to Team Davis Cup!

Great stuff so far from them and hopefully they can keep this up and win the match (as the 40 ranking points and the money comes in handy, especially for Ross), while Boggo would love to get his 2nd ATP doubles win

Bennetaeu and Mahut are the opponents in the QF's if they win this

Still don't know the reason for the Tursunov default other than he simply walked off the court

Come on Hoggo!

Does anyone know what Tursonov/Haggard did earlier to default against the Italians?

Reports say Tursunov just walked off court, but no reason as to why he did so

would that put him out of the singles as well? Anyone know the rules that well/desire a trip into the depths of the ATP rulebook as a pleasant way to spend the evening?
