Quite a strong British presence in the doubles in Greece this week - & a change of partners for Col, not to mention a week away from the "devil dirt"for all three of our boys! :
R1: Jordan Kerr & David Martin (AUS/USA) vs Jamie Delgado & Jonny Marray
R1: Travis Parrott & Filip Polasek (USA/SVK) vs (2) Colin Fleming & Scott Lipsky (USA)
SF: Michail Elgin & Alexander Kudryavtsev (RUS/RUS) vs (2) Colin Fleming & Scott Lipsky (USA)
That's going to be a toughie!
Dunno what was going on, though the SF was interrupted yesterday by rain & due to be completed today, but the boys won by 4-6 1-0 retired & had a walkover in the final agin Bachinger & Becker, so Flemsky s & 110 points in the bag! At least Colin can head for Naples in good heart!
Hope not too many fancied a day out in Athens at the tennis.
Colin and Scott won their semi final by retirement at the overnight score, and both the singles ( Bachinger winning this time over Tursunnov ) and doubles finals were walkovers
