I will say one thing for the French tennis authorities, unlike their British counterparts they actually give a damn about the fans and organise their tournaments with them in mind. Look at the OOP for Monday.

8 matches all on the same court.

This isn't unusual for a French tournament. One day last week the play on the main court at Rennes lasted a little over 13 hours.

 ... and a very nice court it is too:

Ken: "Good memories here in Orleans. Possibly the best court in ATP Challenger tour. Hawkeye this week too http://yfrog.com/h876lnmej "

Jamie & Jonny are the only seeds left in the draw! disbelief  They will play the local WCs, Dorian Descloix & Maxime Teixeira, or David Skoch & Simone Vagnozzi (CZE/ITA), in the QF.

It will be David Skoch & Simone Vagnozzi in the quarter finals for J & J, last match tomorrow.

With all other seeds gone this is a great chance for them to get some pretty big points.
