Week 24 - ATP 250 - Aegon International (€450,000) - Eastbourne: doubles
Permalink  

Jeepers!  A much tougher draw than the singles:  Jamie Murray & Jonathan Erlich have a WC & take on the third seeds, Bruno Soares & Kevin Ullyett (BRA/RSA), in the first round, Flemski, also WC, confront the established Brazilian pairing, Marcelo Melo & André Sá, & H&H have drawn the second seeds, Bhupathi & Knowles!  It's going to take a miracle for team GB to have anyone in the second round! hmm  pray.gif

Edited to correct spelling of Jonathan's second name out of courtesy to the player. winkwink

But then again, we found a miracle in Flemski beating the Bryans

Tough draw for all the British players, but hopefully one of them will be able to make their way into the last eight.

Flemski must still be a confidence high after their result last week, while I'm sure Hutchins and Huss have a great record against Bhupathi and Knowles, so they could win their matches.

Not looking quite so good for Murray and Erlich, but they've got an outside chance I guess.

And with all the great doubles pairings in the draw, it's a bit disappointing to see Tursunov/Gabashvilli vs. Polasek/Parrott on the OOP for tomorrow. Would have liked a better doubles match to watch, but I suppose it's not a bad match to have on court.

Wow what a horror draw for the British players.

Jamie lost to Ullyett & Soares in the final of Nottingham last year, and I can't see them coming close to producing an upset.

Melo & Sa always do very well on the grass and are in the final of Queen's this week but I guess we still don't know quite how good Flemski can be so there is a chance.

H&H have a 2-0 record over Knowles/Bhupathi with both wins coming on clay, but H&H have a bit of a bad run of form and I really don't see them doing it for a 3rd time.

Tough draws for the boys here. *eek* At one time I'd have put money ( if I was a betting woman wink ) on H&H, but of late, as Wolf says, their record has been poor. They'll need a return to form to win this one. Jamie and JE are still finding their feet together, so I have my doubts that they'll come out on top. Col & Ken, a difficult one to predict after their good run at Queen's. I'm living in hope.pray.gif
