Its clay and, Colin has been injured so I don't expect too much here but, do any think this partnership peaked last year? Were they riding the crest of a wave that they will find difficult to maintain or will they move up further? There rise was not dis-similar to when Jamie Murray frst surged up the rakings as Stetch & Booty (Eric is currently top 30 btw), I just hope there isn't a similar fall.
Flemski appear to have a gift of a 1st round here, then potentially the 3rd seeds.
The third seeds in the QF it is (& a minimum of 45 points in the bag ): they beat Allegro & Stan the Man by 7-6(9) 7-5 a short while ago.
For the record, the top seeds, Lukasz Kubot & Oliver Marach, are out, beaten by another pair of "bloody Poles" (Bednarek & Kowalczyk) by 6-1 0-6 [10-12]. Weird scoreline!
