Couldn't have wished for a better start to this new partnership. Long may it continue down the fruitful path.

Tweet from Colin;

We just won 2nd rnd match 6-3 6-2. Practice some more now to be ready for tough test in semi tmrow.

Good stuff - Likely to be 3rd seeds Fischer/Oswald in SF which would be a good marker for partnership

Oh no, it isn't...:

SF: (1) Colin Fleming & Ross Hutchins vs Ivan Dodig & Evgeny Kirillov (CRO/RUS)! wink

The encounter may provide a less accurate measure of the new partnership, which in one respect is disappointing, but I imagine that it increases their chances of reaching the final, assuming they're not too complacent... The departure of Fischer & Oswald also means that the boys are now the only seeds left in the draw! biggrin

Hutchins/Fleming *4-3

Just broke the Kirillov serve, who looks the weak link on court. They are not making much headway on Dodig's serve, which is massive.

wolf · Tennis legend

They had 0-40 on the Dodig serve, and were in the point until Colin netted a backhand. Dodig made them pay with three big first serves and forces Ross to serve it out.

Hutchins/Fleming *5-4

Ross digs out a hold from 15-30 and they take the first set 6-4.
