I know this has been mentioned in Andy's forum, but I thought I should create a thread for it as normal is Andy is playing doubles with another Brit.

Andy & Jamie Delgado play the 4th seeds Booty & Frantisek Cermak today after the Safin v Stakhovsky match (the players have just walked out on court).

They'll be a live stream on the official website http://www.spbopen.ru/eng/index.html

The winners of that match will play Travis Parrot & Filip Polasek. Other news from the tournament so far includes the 2nd seeds and the 3rd seeds, both in the bottom half, being dumped out, the latter by Jamie's old partner Max Mirnyi and Rohan Bopanna. The top seeds, Aspelin & Knowle, are on course for victory though, they have just taken the first set 6-1.

Live stream back but at a funny angle.

Return winner from Jamie sets up 2bps but Andy can't convert.

*0-4.

Now *5-2 down. Andy is so annoyed that he cannot get a first serve in to save his life that he smashed his racket in that last game.

At least he's getting the rubbish serving out of the way in a match that doesn't matter (though Del might not agree with me there!)

GSM Booty & Cermak 6-0, 6-4.

Jamie played great from what I saw (missed the middle bit due to dinner) and while Andy's groundstrokes were good his serve and volleys let him down (Jamie's volleys weren't great either to be fair).
