well a win's a win and it looks as if they were in complete control anyway. anyone else think jonny will become our next dubs specialist following delgs himself and aucks into it after his singles career?

Nice of Devilder and Rochus to retire.

Cermak and Mertinak up next for the boys...will be a difficult match and not one I'd expect them to win.

Does look like Marray is on the verge of becoming a doubles specialist and when his points from Dublin drop off next week, then he's going to drop a long way in the rankings, probably too far to climb back up again.

And they've already had to save a break point...

LOL good for Boggo to mess them around ... but I really hope he isn't going to do that, we've got far too many doubles specialists as it is relative to singles specialises when it's singles that really matters ... to the rest of the world, at least.

Boggo does actually talk quite a bit about dubs here, so i guess i was wrong earlier. Will have to see.

maybe he can hook up with hutch as i reckon he might split with huss after so many losses.

Just not happening at all for H and H at the moment and they aren't in much form at all. This was a winnable match and anothe defeat for them. Grass season has just been a disaster for them and they need to forget about it and then move on.

Boggo does talk a lot about doubles in that interview so maybe he is interest in taking it up more as a career. Think it maybe a little premature to do so, but if he cannot get his ranking back into the top 200 when the points from Canada come off, then maybe it's not the worst idea in the world.

nice to see alex saying we should be focusing on juniors. and sounds as if he has kind of expected he has underachieved.
