Flemski see off the likely DC singles combo 6-4 6-2 and play the Brazilians Melo/Soares in the semis

Well done, Col & Ken. smile

Pity progress had to be at the expense of Jamie & James, though. cry

Where did you find out about Melo & Soares, David? The result of their encounter with Benneteau & Llodra should have been generally available long before now, but I can't seem to find it. confuse

Did they perchance get a walkover?

P.S. Many belated congratulations to James on his win over Schüttler.

Since there's now an interview with him on the LTA site, TPTB there can hardly claim ignorance of his achievements this week! evileye

Didn't expect that result from James. Well done lad. If he can keep the belief going tomorrow and play well again then he must have a chance.

It's on the drawsheet - they did get a walkover.

I assure you it wasn't when I checked it just before making that statement in my post!

Excellent result for James.

I have to admit I wasn't expecting it and so it's even more pleasing. Well done that man. Now for Dolgopolov.

Fully expected Col and Ken to do the business, they are our #1 doubles pair after all. Good to know we have a backup team if needed, though.

Tim · Intermediate Club Player

Oh yez, well done Wardy & Flemski.

I see the Daily Telegraph are reporting that for the first time in the 133 year history of the Wimbledon tournament there won't be an Englishman in the draw, and then as an afterthought it mentions the accomplishments of Bally and Wardy at Eastbourne this week.

wow.
first time in 133 years.

clayfan · Lower Club Player

So why no English representation 133 years ago? Do they mean first time ever?

Josh · Challenger level

Yeah, first time ever.

indiana · Tennis legend

Yes, Wimbledon started 1877 and Phil does indicate it is first time in Wimbledon history.

Just want to add my congratulations to Wardy. I like his style and attitude, and I think he'll make the top 100 by 2012 - maybe even before that. Good luck to him!
