..and have lost the first 3 of the second set.   To be fair each group of 3 has just included one breal of serve.

The scoring in the latter half of the second set follows a slightly different pattern from the first, but Jamie & Paul still lose it by 3-6. Squeaky bum time...

Honest assessment of the match and the week from Ken:

"Outplayed from start to finish! A tough end to a good week. Quimper next week with my new partner Jamie Delgado. Looking forward to it."

I wonder if Jamie & Paul can prevent the triple Brit bash (or quadruple if we're counting players!) ... I can't say I fancy their chances, but you never know!

Good on him for being so honest. Let's hope Jamie & Paul can do the biz. I can't say I fancy their chances against those particular Frogs, either, but you do never know...

Re Quimper, interesting that Skups refers to Jamie D as his "new partner". I assume that means that J&J are no more. I wonder whether Jonny M will turn up in the doubles with a new partner as well...

Thanks for the link, David. I see Jamie's a member of an all-Australian pairing!
