Doubles: Ken Skupski breaks into the top 50, Jonny Marray top 100

Big milestones for two GB doubles players today - Ken has ended up even higher than I thought at WR 50 biggrin (Colin is WR 53) and Jonny has cracked the top 100 biggrin (up 1 at 100) - Hutch is still the top-ranked Brit at WR 47.

As predicted, Flemski have also leapt up 28 places in the Doubles Race to 29th, one place ahead of Hutch/Huss.

For how long will they be able to keep up this level of performance?  They have done a fantastic job of riding their luck - this week they played and won three match tie breaks, played and won two regular tiebreaks.   I also have a slight concern that regular pairs on the doubles tour who havn't played against them before will learn their weaknesses and  impede their progess.   Having said that, it is not possible to wiin two ATP events if you are idiots. And as for being lucky, one of the definitions of luck is preparedness meeting opportunity.

Irrespective of what else happens, they have some cash in the bank and will be playing the main tour for at least the next year.....

JM is the one who springs instantly to mind, but it was also a general comment. i am sure life for dubs teams can be tough, spending a lot of time together, and if things slip on the court i'm sure it can spill over, but generally i think better results cna be achived by long term team work and understanding.

most of the top duvs guys, we know, couldn't really cut it on the singles tour, but its not about that. it about playing as the team, and surely the longer the team stays together the more coordinated it will be in its actions.

Excellent work from both lads. If anything, the fact this pair have beaten top pairings already shows that they're not gleaning points from weak easy draws and aren't scared of them either.

Guile's new Super Move should be named Flemski BOOM!

Street Fighter humour not working? Alright...

maybe that how the win, during the mtbs when they hit the ball it turns into a super charged green glowing disk that melts their opponents racquet strings.

Is that the Green guy? i always thought he was called Gail laughing.gif

Flemski have to win a slam though if they want to replace HADOUKEN! as Ryu's super move

The green guy, with the silly hair, yes. wink [pedantry] And if I'm being particularly pedantic, Hadouken is merely a special move. His super move is called the Shinku Hadouken. [/pedantry]

 

Sorry, I'm rather obsessive over Street Fighter. And somehow the idea of a Flemski slam is rather BRILLIANT...

no i don't mind the pedantry at all. i used to love playing as Ryu, so i should know what his specific moves were! i always hated Dhalsim so much, he was a nightmare to fight against
