But they get a third break to seal the first set:  6-4 (or, put another way, three service breaks to two!   A perfect illustration of the benefit of serving first, methinks! wink ) *0-0! smile

The tournaments directors are worried they won't get through all the matches so all men's doubles first round matches will be best of 3 instead of 5.

Ah, that makes sense.

 But no tie-break or match tie-break if a match goes to a third set, I see.

 I should bloody well hope not. I see one match is currently 13-13

I'd happily do away with not having final set TBs in all competitions, singles and doubles, including Wimbledon.

But I think that's maybe quite a big arguement point  ( which i think raised it's head last year with the Isner vs Mahut match )

All over:  Dan & James lost by 6-4 4-6 4-6. cry

Jamie & Stakh currently lead David & Sean by *5-3.

Looks as though Bops & Qureshi (4) may finally be about to capitulate to the Colombians, Cabal & Farah: 19-20* in the third!

First set in the bag for Jamie & Stakh by 6-3.

Skups & Haase vs Clément & Dlouhy now under way on court 5 - & they're on the verge of dropping their opening service game! hmm
