i think your allegation that a professional sportsman might deliberately lose a match shocking, and i think you should apologise to Messers Minar & Rosso for suggestion this and also to Messers Pauffley & Fidriko for the implication they could only win by their opponents not trying.

LOL I'm not saying Neil and partner couldn't possibly win, it's the scoreline that makes me just a tiny bit suspicious that Minar & Rosol might not have brought their A game onto court.

boith lost

Wardy lost 6-0, 6-4 while Josh went down 6-3, 6-2

Better news in doubles with both Josh/James and Neil and partner winning match tie-breaks.

1) James' defeat was hardly unexpected cry

, but that's a poor show from Josh

.

2) Three sets each pair may have needed to get there, but they still add up to the almost (75%) all-British final helki was hoping for & a guaranteed 50% share of the title! biggrin At least the two wins restore a bit of Brit self-respect. Well done, lads!

P.S. For the record, Neil & Nikolai won 7-5 1-7 [10-8] & Goody & Ward 7-5 4-6 [10-7]. Oddly similar scorelines!

*yawn* If Marcus & Neil are as successful as your spelling & grammar, they've about as much chance as a snowball in Hades!

Meanwhile, back in the real world, a win today for the second seeds, 4-6 6-0 [10-4].

Well done to Josh and James.

A bit of a face-saver after the disappointment of the singles. As the last seeds standing I'd have been upset if they hadn't won, though. wink

Willis and Pauffley were/are actually a very successful doubles partnership in doubles at junior level.

I tihnk the sentiment was for them to play together at senior level.

Congrats to James and Josh on the doubles title!

Lets go beyond QF this next week though boys.
