Jos Rae was amazing. A commanding doubles performance there. Best player on the court. Well done to Scotland. I hope they have similar success back in the warm embrace of the UK in the next few weeks!

Superb play, particularly by Jos. As the commentators said at the end hopefully she can really kick on and do more things in the game. But first work on her towel throwing skills smile

Tennis in the Commonwealth Games is great smile Who's that saying I've been saying other things previously

What an exciting match! Far too much at times. Still recovering. Jos was fantastic. At last a tennis match on freeview red button instead of endless boxing. Pity they missed the medal ceremonies. I saw it on BBC i. After all that effort Colin was announced as Colin Skupski! Wonder how much his doubles partner paid to wangle that one!

Beside myself with joy. Think even more 'cos on paper it just should never have happened! Will have to wait until I get over to the UK later in year to see the recording of the match -:).
