Thought Goodall and Bamford would do better than they did, so a slight disappointment to see them lose as easily as they did against what was one of the better draws that they could have got.

Boggo/Marray put up a good showing, but fell away in the 3rd it looked like, but for 2 sets pushed the 2nd seeds which is a creditable effort for them, especially as I don't think they've played doubles together before.

Murray/Minryi had a good straight sets win against Gicquel and Santoro who are a very strong unseeded pairing so it will give them a lot of confidence with that win. Up next is Cerretani/Hanescu who should be beatable, but have to play well in the tiebreaks again as they both, especially Cerretani have got massive serves.

Hutchins/Huss against Erlich/Ram up soon on court 4, but disappointed this is on a non-TV court as you'd think a Brit in round 2 against the 3rd seeds would at least get a TV court, but apparantly not

Huss/Hutchins 2 sets to 1 up

To be played to a finish in the second match on Court 4 tomorrow.

I've just noticed that Cermak and Kerr are playing Berlocq & Schwank in R2 - now I'm REALLY disappointed that Richard and Ken didn't make it through.

You won't be surprised to hear that the pair B & S beat in R1 was also from Argentina, though one of them was Canas!

Stretch & the Beast are back in action tomorrow against James Cerretani (US) & Hutch's erstwhile partner, Victor Hanescu (ROM), in the third match on N° 1.

2 sets up last time I checked!

I saw most of this match - we missed the start because we deserted our Court 1 seats to watch Andy's match on the Hill.

Jamie and Max both played very well, I thought. Max has the strength and Jamie the deft touch, so they can work well together. In fact watching them I couldn't help wondering why they have not done better together so far - maybe it is just starting to click into place.

Jamie was wearing a headband round his curls McEnroe-style. He looked so much like all the spectators wearing McEnroe wigs that it was rather funny. It was even funnier watching Cerretani; he jumps around all over the place, and when his partner was serving or receiving, he took up a stance with legs wide apart, bum sticking out, and inched forwards while waiting. It looked like a Maori Haka minus the stuck-out tongue. I'm afraid my daughter and I both kept getting the giggles watching him.
