Phew! That was close! At least they got there in the end & they won't go away empty-handed: 90 points in the bag at least! smile

Yes, I had forgotten it was a 500 event. smile I really think that should be shown in the title considering it is of direct relavance as to how many points our boys will win.

With Ross defending 350 points this week and 310 points in 2 weeks from finals in Moscow and Lyon respectively last year, it would be particularly good to rack up as many points as possible this week.

A good win, but not an easy one! Very pleased they came through it. smile

Hope K&S have shot their bolt in knocking out the 4th seeds.

With so many points to defend H&K could do with winning this tournament.

Who's changed my title without asking permission. wink

Mikeduke · County player

Hutchins and Kerr won 6-2 6-3

Hi there, apologies of it's been discussed and i've missed it but has Hutch split with Huss for good now? I assume so but wondered if there was a reason, I know they'd had a bad spell but hadn't noticed anything. Great to see him getting a couple of wins again though.

DUSTY DICK · Club Coach

Another good win and that's at least 180 points in the bag so a good week so far. Hope they keep it going.

Yes they have split up. Check out their blogs:

Smidster · Challenger level

Another good win and while we can argue whether he was right to split with Huss if the confidence in each other had gone then it is probably for the best and at least they took the decision fairly quickly

Bit of a wait for next match. While it is likely to be top seeds (Cerminak/Martinek) they are still waiting to see who they will play in QF so I guess a Saturday Semi

The Magician Santoro · Top national player

do you get SE for doubles?

helki · Futures qualifying

Good win for the pair. I'd have been upset if they had lost. wink

All seeds apart from the No.1s have gone. Needless to say they are in the same half as H&K. hmm

Ross/Jordan play Kas/Levinsky (who knocked out the top seeds today) at 2am BST tommorow, they are 1st on Centre Court (with Katie starting a hour later on Court 1).

I have to get up early to do some tennis coaching so needless to say I won't be staying up to follow that one. yawn

gjr · Club Coach

Ross/Jordan beat Kas/Levinsky 6-3, 3-6, 10-7.

There was an hour rain delay at 1-1 in final set tie-break.
