Get in there Flemski. What a team. Can't wait for 2010 and what they could achieve.

Just love watching these two.smile Being a set down never seems to faze them. The differing body language during the CTB told its own story.

Unflappability.  How often do you see that in British players?  Quite a refreshing change to see it in these two. hat.gifLong may it stay that way. please.gif

When was the last time we had a good all-brit double partnership?

In reverse chronological order, it's probably:

Tim Henman/Greg Rusedski - 8-1 in DC in the 1990s/2000s (but they hardly ever played together on the tour, of course)
Colin Dowdeswell/John Lloyd - 5-0 in DC in the 1980s (only 4-3 when JL played with his brother in the 1970s)
Mike Sangster/Bobby Wilson 11-3 in DC in the 1960s (probably our best doubles partnership since the war, since they played DC at a higher level than Tim/Greg - in fact, Wilson won 25 DC doubles rubbers in total, easily a British record)
Patrick Hughes/Fred Perry - 11-3 in DC in the 1930s (*)
Ian Collins/Colin Gregory - 6-0 in DC in the last 20's/early 30s

(*) No idea if they were a regular partnership or more of a Perry=Muzza Hughes=Hutch thing but both feature in 'Boggo's coming home' - Perry for the obvious reason, Hughes because he partnered Tuckey in the doubles in our last two winning DC Finals.

In fact, Hughes & Tuckey were the last Brits to win the Wimbledon men's doubles title in 1936 (the same year, of course, that we had our last Wimbledon men's singles winner and our last DC win) and I think (E&OE!) Hughes and Perry were the last Brits to win the men's doubles at an overseas slam in 1934.

Quite interesting that two of our five best doubles partnerships in DC had a Colin in them wink

Great to see Flemski pick up another ATP title and they are really showing that they can easily compete with the best pairs.

Hopefully they can keep this form up next season when hopefully they will be playing at ATP level week-in, week-out and in 12 months time they will be qualifying for the Masters Cup.

According to the doubles team rankings on the ATP site, they already have:  29th place to H&H's 30th (up 28 places, with 590 points from 24 tournaments)! biggrin  Only thing is, the date at the top is 19th October (all the other rankings, singles & doubles, are dated today)! confuse
