I think this deserves a separate thread with four Brits in draw.
Look who has turned up here Jamie D and Ken Supski Richard has decided to give it a miss
Bogdanovic/Olejniczak (POL) vs Brown (JAM)/Colangelo (ITA) Jamie D/Jonny M vs Gajjar( IND)/Raja (IND) (4)Skupski/Rettenmaier (USA) vs Galvano(ITA)/Matsukevich(RUS) winner could meeet Jamie/Jonny in next round.
So the Battistone boys aren't joined at the hip à la Bryan! Wonder whether Brian will be wielding that lethal, double-handled weapon he calls a racket?!!

Either way, it doesn't really matter: he & Mankad, the second seeds, lost 4 & 4 to Bozo & Jenkins!
More to the point, Jamie D & Jonny M beat Gajjar & Raja 3 & 2.
No luck for Boggo in the doubles, though he & Olejniczak came quite close to beating Brown & Colangelo (Brown having a good day, having also dumped out the fourth seed in the singles!): 6-4 1-6 [4-10]. Skups & Rettenmaier, on the other hand, sailed through to the QF by 4 & 0. Only trouble is, they face Jamie D & Jonny there...!
Yeah, they did, 7-6(?) 6-4, but this news page for today from the Wolfsburg site is confusing, to say the least: the scoreboard showing Jamie & Jonny first & then the result below Rettenmaier's & Skups's names makes it appear as though J & J won, but the caption below the picture on the right (quite a nice one, methinks! Rettenmaier's on the left.) says that R & S won. The heading, for the record, means "Winners look like this".
* The conquerors of the second seeds, Bozo & Jenkins, in the SF. Fingers crossed...

Finally confirmed in the results section of the site: 7-6(2) 6-4. Their SF will be the final match on centre tomorrow, following a singles QF which kicks off at 17.30 GMT.
I would think that their opponents would withdraw seeing as Bozo retired from his singles match yesterday.
Anyway the 3/4 Brit clash is available on the TennisLive.tv site but it just won't buffer for me (others that I have tried are fine).
I have the same problem - if by "won't buffer" you mean you can't get a picture - but the match is still listed as the last one on the centre court for live transmission on the Tennis Live TV page of the site.
