Oh yez Flemski! Heartbreaker for H&H!

Great win for Col & Ken!   Creditable effort by H & K.  I guess the latters' failure to take their chances, i.e. by squandering the early break in the third & then the 3-0 lead in the subsequent TB, & cause a major upset can be attributed to the difference between a great (& long-established) partnership & a competent one! Had they not been playing the second seeds, who knows what might have happened...?  Still, well done to both pairs for putting in a decent shift, especially Flemski.

Ross and Pav at 3-3 first set (court 16)

So Ross did get in after all.

Lost the MTB 8-10. Shame they gave it a good go, but another disappointment for Ross this week. Both close matches.

Yes, definitely another creditable performance by Ross (& partner), but what a shame that he & Pav were unable to get across the finishing line this time.  Was bitterly disappointed to come home earlier & see that result.  So near & yet so far - again...! It is perhaps a measure of his & Jordan's achievement in taking their match against the men's second seeds to the wire that the latter brushed aside Greul & Luczak today by 1 & 4 to reach the last 16.

 

Flemski have the first BP of the match, but fail to convert *4-4.
