The good news continues - for now: J&J have just taken the first-set tie-break against Berlocq & Mello by 7-5! wink

RJA · Hall of fame

Lost the second set 3-6

Stircrazy · Tennis legend

But eventually won the third by 8-6 & with it the match! biggrin

R2: (11) Wes Moodie & Dick Norman (RSA/BEL) vs (WC) Jamie Delgado & Jonny Marray

Spectator · All-time great

In terms of ratio of wins to WCs, Delgado/Marray as a team must have about the best record of anyone from GB, yes?

Third match on Court 16 today. A ghost of a chance if they're feeling comfortable as playing partners?

Not looking much like it at the moment: they lost the first set by 5-7. hmm 1-0* in the second & it's back to best of five in the second round...

RJA · Hall of fame

5 sets = good

Jamie & Stakh had setpoints at 5-4 but the Spaniards saved them and took the set on the tiebreak (7-3)

I suppose it does at least mean that, having lost the second-set tie-break by 3-7, they are not yet actually down & out! hmm

Stircrazy · Tennis legend

Oh dear, I think they've had it: *0-3. They can't seem to make any real impression on their opponents' service. cry

Stircrazy · Tennis legend

That's it. All over. 1-6 in the third. cry
