Not to be for the doubles guys today  cry

Hanley & Murray (AUS/GBR) (16)  lost to  Knowle & Kohlmann (AUT/GER)   7 - 6 (2)   4 - 6   7 - 6 (5)

Malisse & Skupski (BEL/GBR)  lost to  Bracciali & Starace (ITA/ITA)   7 - 6 (4)   6 - 3

Skups & Malisse had set points in the twelfth game of the first set, but just couldn't convert any of them.  Then they seemed to go to pieces in the tie-break, being 2-6 down at one point!  Shortly after they lost that tie-break, Jamie & Paul lost their first-set tie-break & I gave up, logged off & turned out the light!  The Murray/Hanley defeat is particularly disappointing, as they seem to have come so close to winning it. cry

Clearly Jamie's problem is that he has played with the same partner for 3 events in a row.

First set Fletch 6-0. Only problem is it was too easy, Bogo/Kunitysn were horrible. Fletch just played basic but effective doubles and won pretty much every extended rally.

Fletch win 6-0 6-3 in 55 minutes. eEfficient. Either the Bryans or Hewitt/Luczak in the 3rd round.

Easy peasy for Colin & Ross:

R2:  Alex Bogomolov & Igor Kunitsyn (RUS/RUS) lost to (15) Colin Fleming & Ross Hutchins by 0 & 3 smile

The Aussie WCs, Hewitt & Luczak, or, more likely, the Bryans (1) in the last 16...

Hewitt advancing in singles means he may have even less focus here (not that I expected much anyway)

Colin & Ross lose the first set to the Bryans by 4-6.  cry

Slightly off topic, the plonkers responsible for the Slamtracker can't even be @rsed to get the photos right:  it's displaying one of Ross in the space which should be showing Mike Bryan, while the space for Ross's photo is blank!
