First ATP500 of the year for Fleming and Hutchins. They couldnt have hoped for a much better first round draw!

Jamie hasnt lost a Doubles match to Mirnyi since they played together in 2008. Theyve played against each other 3 times in this time, the most recent being in the final of Valencia last year.

Why don't you like it? Not a fan of non-doubles specialists playing dubs?



If you're not a fan, totally agree with it. If you're a fan, totally disagree with it.

a) I don't like Andy wasting his energy playing doubles

b) I think it's high time Jamie settled with a permanent partner instead of relying on Andy to keep his ranking artificially high

c) Although I don't mind watchin a good doubles match, I can't muster up any enthusiasm for actually following doubles players and their results.

Not a popular attitude on here, I know.

 In addition, how can the top players complain about how much playing they have to do then go and play doubles as well.

Unsurprisingly, Andy's withdrawal from the singles event with a glutaeal muscle injury is followed by his & Jamie's scratching from the doubles (Mad'll be pleased...), so Mirnyi & Nestor are handed a walkover.

 Definitely not pleased that Andy has an injury - it's no help withdrawing from doubles if he can't play singles either!
