You just knew once Andy had been beaten in the singles, the doubles were going to receive alot of focus this week. Andy desperate to provide his type of wedding gift to his big bro. Win the final, why not, I believe Nole did something similar in the year, lose early in the singles then win the doubles.



So what we can conclude is that Andy delibrately threw his singles match in order that he could focus on the doubles and maximise the value of the wedding present. Not that brotherly love has anything to do with it, he is simply setting a very high bar that Jamie will be expected to match in the wedding gifts stake when the time finally comes.

Fantastic

Also takes Jamie back over 1,000 points and should get him back into top 75 (just above Rafa)

Elsewhere in the clash of the top two teams in Basel the Bryans have beaten Nestor/Zimonjic 10-3 in the CTB. They are 11-0 in finals this year, incredible record.

Isn't it amazing how nobody posts for quarter of an hour, then two post together! It happens so often.
