Ollie holds to 15

5-5*

If they haven't got big-serving impostors then they must be one of the fastest in between points - you couldn't get more than 2 Rafa points in the time for the last game

5*-6

Trouble on Jiri's serve at 15-30, 15-40, 30-40

GSM Beretta/Quiroz 6-1 7-5

Rather one-sided unfortunately

not really pleased with that.
they didnt get into their opponents serve at all.

still a good week.

indiana · Tennis legend

Ah, pity

Still another really good week for them and at least in the final they have lost to a pair that as David said have won the French Open juniors among other titles. Indeed I see that the South Americans have by far and away the most doubles ranking points in their points total.

In that regard, Jiri and Oli will reinforce their positions in 3rd and 4th respectively after the US Open.

Great week from Oli and Jiri but pleased to see Duilio Beretta who is a GTC client take the title alongside Roberto to add to their Roland Garros title which was also won in 2010!

Well done to Mr. Golding: a gold medal and a grand-slam semi and final at 16 is good going.

Very struck reading through the interviews with young Americans (eg Jack Sock, Ryan Harrison) at the role Andy Roddick plays for the boys -- pretty well all of them seem to mention advice that he has given them, and he clearly takes an active interest in motivating and instructing the top new players. (For the US girls, it seems to be the older greats like Chris Evert who are playing that role).

It would seem that having Greg Rusedski on side is a real benefit to Ward and Golding, though his role is more coach than role model; does anyone know whether Andy Murray also works with/gives advice to any of the younger talent?

I don't know about whether he gives them advice but i believe Olly is working with one of Andy's training staff this month to boost up his fitness

Didn't he get that as reward for his performance at Wimby ?

Okay that's ruined my attempt to make Andy seem like a good mentor smile
