Weeks 25 & 26 - Wimbledon 2010: men's doubles
Permalink  

Lots of Brits/Englishmen in contention, unlike the singles ( mad.gif ), but some tough draws, though, with one obvious exception, seeds have actually been avoided:

R1:  Daniel Nestor & Nenad Zimonjic (CAN/SRB) (1) vs Jonny Marray & Jamie Murray bleh
R1:  Fabio Fognini & Kevin Ullyett (ITA/RSA) vs Chris Eaton & Dominic Inglot
R1:  Nicolás Almagro & Santiago Venturta (ESP/ESP) vs Jamie Delgado & Josh Goodall
R1:  Ross Hutchins & Jordan Kerr (AUS) vs Alex Bogdanovic & Alex Slabinsky bleh
R1:  Arnaud Clément & Nicolas Mahut vs Colin Fleming & Ken Skupski

Guaranteed representative in R2, thanks to the Hutch/Kerr vs Boggo/Slabba match-up, &, I'd've thought, sporting chances for Chris & Dom, Delgo & Goody & Flemski (who would almost certainly face the Bryans in Round 2, but there's history there... wink ), but what a pig of a draw for Jamie & Jonny! disbelief Brit (bad) luck strikes again...! frustrated.gif

A ray of light finally penetrates the gathering gloom over SW19! biggrin  Well done, boys! w00t.gif  No doubt you'll have to fact the fourth seeds, Bhupathi & Mirnyi, in the second round... hmm  Either way, let's hope that win is a good omen for the rest of the afternoon on Court 6 (three more British pairs to come - Chris & Dom next) - oh, & a certain other English team 6,000 odd miles away... pray.gif
