I noticed yesterday Sue Barker gave the Eaton/Inglot result on BBC 2, but no mention of Flemski. I thought they must have lost until I came on here to check!

From the start of the year I've said that this could be a formidable partnership and that is an absolute fantastic result! Bennetau/Llodra next, will be tough, but if they serve and volley to the best of their standards then i think we could see maybe a quarterfinal!

Tremendous win for Eaton and Inglot

You certainly have made clear what you thought spud, you often put your head above water for some folk, possibly including myself, sometimes to take the occasional shot.

So you enjoy their success smile

I hope they can go further yet and have an even more memorable Wimbledon.

C'MON Flemski ... let's take the tie-break!

ForeverDelayed · Grand Slam Champion

The Bryans took the tiebreak, with Fleming crucially double faulting at 5-5, to record a 6-2, 6-4, 7-6(5) win.

A little disappointing from Flemski, but the Bryans played very well, and I'd be surprised if they didn't win the title, as both their serves and especially their return games were excellent.

As Rusedski pointed out on commentary, Mike Bryan was making pretty much every return and hitting a lot of winners on his backhand side, yet Flemski kept serving to that, which was a failing on their part to pick up on and perhaps partly why they are just inside the top 50 rather than the top 20.

Just didn't quite serve well enough as well and it is perhaps the thing they need to work on to make the next step to the level where they will be seeded in the slams.

Hopefully Rusedski will relay that info to them. Yup, got to be able to think on your feet at the highest level (easy for those spectating & commentating to say).

Better luck in the mixto-dobles.

On paper, Balski would seem to have a better chance than Boring

(got to give the ladies first position in the amalgamated name game), as the Stosur service is extremely strong, so prbly less chance to break thru there. Allthough ... it looks like Zimonjic may not be playing his best stuff, so may even itself out.

Sincerely hope they can both pull off a BIG WIN!

Let's go Inglton in case I'm not around when they're playing later!!!
