I sneaked in to see the end of this match (had tickets for court 1) and to anyone doubting a 'genuine' win for Flemski, I would say that Colin and Ken were on top form, good serving, sharp volleys, excellent retrieving at times and they fully deserved this prize.
One exceedingly annoying aspect of Queens is that they don't keep you informed of court changes. We didn't buy the charity returns for centre court as Ross was scheduled for the penultimate match on court 1 but for some unknown reason his match was replaced by the final scheduled match - a doubles with Karlovic. Ross was rescheduled for the last match on either court 2 or 9. It wasn't actually raining when the match was suspended but was stopped because it was getting damp and that at Hutchins and Huss' request. Benneteau and Llodra were not amused as the match had already been pushed back.
An excellent day for the doubles teams. Spoke briefly to James Richardson (doubles coach) and he was pretty excited about the wins.

Cheers, Liz. Always good to get a bit of "behind-the-scenes intel" that "fleshes out" the "bare bones" supplied in media reports.
The Flemski story even made headlines on the ATP site.
Just found out about the fantastic doubles victory for Flemski. What a super result. Makes all the hard work and consistancy worthwhile. Does anyone else think this pairing could be a quite successful top 100 pairing? They seem to be inching nearer to it.
