Wow finally, I think Andy and Ross played about 3 days ago, but at least now they have some opponents for the second round.

Melo and Sa beat Mathieu/Safin 10-8 in the super tie break. Not a great day for PH!

R2: Andy/Ross vs (8) Melo/Sa

I presume it will be tomorrow, OOP not out yet.

12.30 local time/19.30 GMT.

I presume it took so long for the match which decided their opponents to be played because Melo & Sá were originally scheduled to play Ancic & JWT, but Ancic became ill during his R2 match with Ljubo & retired at 3-3 in the first set, which in turn forced them to scratch in the doubles, PHM & Safin coming in as alternates.

Winnable match for guys, good luck. Last time Andy won back to back doubles matches was Indian Wells two years ago with a certain Tim Henman.

[..] Hutch & Huss not ranked high enough to get in on their own merit, I take it.


Just for the record, "Hussy" is at the $125,000 Challenger in Sunrise.  He tried to qualify for the singles MD, but lost in three sets in QR1 to the Russian, Artur Chernov.  He's playing doubles with his compatriot, Paul Hanley, & they're the third seeds.  Hanley also tried to qualify for the singles & in fact got one round futher than Stephen, but went out to the q2, Björn Phau.

Wow, I find this really surprising (but nice): Melo and Sa are an established doubles pair.

GSM AM/RH 6-1 6-3

Surprisingly easy. I think it is the first QF for this combination
