Soares and Ullyett wrap up the win in four sets. They'll face a much tougher prospect in Round 2 against the mighty Ward/Bogman pairing.

It will be Soares/Ullyett for Boggo/Ward in round two after they come from behind to win 6-7, 7-6, 6-2, 6-1.

Soares and Ullyett beat Murray/Erlich and Fleming/Skupski at Eastbourne, so you'd have to consider them huge favourites to win the match.

Marray and Delgado have started on court 5 against Devilder and Rochus (those known grass lovers). Really should be a match that they should have a good chance of winning.

Delray 2-1*

The Brits break first.

*3-1

5-1 now for the boys. Looking very good for them to reach round two against a very poor pairing.

from BBC live text:

1508: BBC Sport's David Ornstein tells me that Bogdanovic has just told a news conference he will concentrate on doubles in the future


i wonder if this is:

a) true
bi) a joke by the BBC
bii) a joke by Alex
c) a misreporting.

i doubt it's 'a', considering last week he was 2 points from beating the world no27 after all. so could bbc live text be doing 'bi' which normally you would say the bbc shouldnt do, but its live text, 'bii' possibly alex mucking around in the PC as he has just won a dubs match, or, mostly lilkely i think, 'c' and Alex has said he will maybe look to play more dubs in future but not at the expense of his singles.

Delgado and Marray now *2-1 up in the second and looking good.

Interesting comment regarding Boggo and doubles. I presume it's more likely that Boggo has decided to play more doubles or a joke from him that he's won a match in doubles so will concentrate on it, rather than a giving up in singles.

Bhupathi/Knowles are about to serve for the match as well so H and H should be back on court soonish.
