Fleming said: "We'll always be friends but it will be best for both of us to freshen things up."

"Ken and I are very proud of our achievements as a team.
"We came through Futures and then Challengers to win two ATP titles, play all four Grand Slams and represent Great Britain in Davis Cup."
Liverpool's Skupski said: "Colin and I decided it was best if we got a fresh start with someone new in 2011.
"We have had a lot of success over our time together and we really have enjoyed it.
"Things have been tough for us over the past few months and we thought it was the best move for both our careers."

Yep, on the Kremlin Cup thread on Saturday on the basis of a report by OEM subsequently confirmed on the LTA site.

And I thought I could be slow on the uptake! biggrin

I have chosen to leave my post there more as a public announcement, so others who may visit the board do not have to trawl through threads to find an article on it, so my mistakes are nothing like the heinous and glaring errors Steven makes

steven · Tennis legend

That's very true

... and much as I hate to admit it, it does make sense to have a thread about this.

Well, that cheers me up a bit. I was upset at the break-up of an all-British partnership, but if Colin at least is going into another it is a consolation. Good luck to them - and to Skupski as well.

New DC partnership ?

Smidster · Challenger level

Think it is good news that Colin and Ross are to form a team...for some reason think they will complement one another.

Now all we need is Ken to join Jamie M for next year and we are rolling (well for DC if nothing else)

Incidentally, as it is dubs related, congratulations to Jamie Murray on getting married today.

As it says in the article, I think, Colin will be playing with Hutch next year. For the next few tournaments he is partnering Jamie Murray. I wonder if JM will have his mind on the tennis after marrying such a beautiful girl.

Ken will be partnering Jordan Kerr for the next few tournaments with the aim of making it a permanent partnership if they gel together. So he may get frozen out of DC.

A photo of the happy couple with Andy & Kim, with the boys definitely wearing kilts! Congratulations, Jamie & Alejandra.
