Fletchins lost   4 - 6   6 - 2   6 - 2    cry

Our last men's doubles hope Jamie Murray will be partnering Xavier Malisse on Court 10 after a women's doubles in its early stages is completed.

Hopefully Xavier isn't thinking too much about his little singles appointment with Fed tomorrow  hmm.gif

Xavier must have been thinking - 'need to get the job done quickly to save energy'.

Jamie & Xavier win 64 60

Well done to Jamie & Xavier biggrin, hard luck Col & Ross. cry   I logged off immediately after they took the first set, fearing I'd find that there had been a reversal of fortune in the next two when I checked this morning.  How I would have loved to be proved wrong. hmm

L32:  Xavier Malisse (BEL) & Jamie Murray vs Björn Phau & Janko Tipsarevic (GER/SRB)

Phau & Tipsy are going to be no pushovers! no

Yeahhh Jamie. Tipsarevic/Phau next round, probably Friday.

Could well be on a televised court, only nine courts being used on Thursday and seven of them are televised.

Maybe we could flood the BBC with texts tomorrow to annoy them and keep doing it until they promise to show it? 81111 is the number.

Really pleased for Murray Senior. Shame about the others, though. Shall have fingers crossed J&X come through the next round.

I notice that Jamie will return to GB Doubles No 1, overtaking Ross in the rankings  ( unless Ross slips into a Challenger and does very well next week )

Jamie  :  1278  -  15  +  90  ( + more please )  =  1353

Ross :    1300  -  0   +   0   ( cry )   =  1300

The boys are second on Court 18 tomorrow, after Govortsova/Kudryavtseva vs Kleybanova/Medina G.  Anyone know if it's televised, or are the Aussies not interested enough in doubles to bother?

Court 18 isn't a televised court so no chance of coverage.
