The boys, unsurprisingly, given their opponents, were not so successful in the doubles, but they had a damn' good go!

R1: (1) Marcus Daniell & Jose Statham (NZL/NZL) WR 968 defeated Richard Gabb & Toby Martin UNR by 6-4 5-7 [10-5]

R2: (5) Hiroyasu Ehara (JPN) WR 562 vs Toby Martin WR 1061

R2: Richard Gabb WR 978 vs Nathan Willis (AUS) WR 1525 or (more likely) (3) Michael Look (AUS) WR 398

A tall order for both lads (unless Willis beats Look! )! hmm

Hoping for some wins. This place is ripe for the puns.

Richard got a lot closer to pulling off the upset than I had dared hope:

L16: Richard Gabb WR 975 lost to (3) Michael Look (AUS) WR 394 by 6-4 6-7(8) 6-3

Toby had better luck! biggrin

R2: (5) Hiroyasu Ehara (JPN) WR 556 lost to Toby Martin WR 1110 by 1-6 0-3 retired! wink

QF: Toby Martin WR 1110 vs (3) Michael Look (AUS) WR 394

For the record, Look's the highest seed left in the draw! hmm

Look has beaten Martin 6-4 6-4.

steven · Tennis legend

Look has completed the double Brit bash 4&4

Edit: that's not the first time a result has been posted twice within 40 seconds, obviously, but possibly the first time it has happened at 2.15 in the morning for a match nobody had stayed up specifically to follow or wait for the result of. biggrin (at least, I hadn't!)

I think Look has now won 9 of his last 10 against Brits.

No, I've been waiting for Mel's result but I'm guessing it's gone to three sets. Also waiting to see who Boggo will play next.

steven · Tennis legend

Yes, that's the most interesting one, I imagine it must have gone long. Nearly 3 hours now, so a result must be due soon, but who knows when they'll tweet it. Still got a couple of hours work to do (I got a bit TOO sidetracked with the tennis when Naomi B's epic match was on! LOL) so hopefully all will have become clear by the time I finish.

I think I'm hoping for Kudla to take Devvarman out ... and as I write that ...
