GSM 6-2, 6-4.

AK served well 2nd set, Coxy poorly. Kind of expected but good win previously off Bubka, hopefully this continues into next week.

Inexcusable serving, to be honest.

But not a bad week overall.

So, the top seeds in the quarter-final it is:
QF: (1) Michail Elgin & Alexander Kudryavtsev (RUS/RUS) vs Dan Cox & Josh Milton
that match scheduled fourth on the centre court later to day (but subject to change), with Dan playing his second-round singles match first on that court at 17.00 BST.

Not looking too promising so far: the boys have just lost the first set by 2-6 in just 20 minutes! cry In mitigation, according to the drawsheet, the Russkies are ranked 194th in the world & are a tough pair to beat, so it was always going to be a mountain for them to climb, though Colin & Ross know a thing or two about how to do it...

They lost by 2 & 2 in 41:19. cry

Good news. Now they can leave for North America quickly.

Very well said Salmon.

Yeah, I quite like doubles. But I don't like singles specialists doing well in dubs if there's even a 1% chance that it'll have an effect.
