Well they're romping it now.....

1st set 6 - 1 to Colin & Ross

And I think the Yanks that turned out to see their beloved Jack Sock are going to be a wee bit disappointed to find he is not playing and it is indeed the Belgians at t'other end of the court.

Scoreboard results show Darcis/Rochus

So who knows? But the latter is much more likely n'est-ce pas ?

*4 - 1 in the 2nd now

If it is Darcis and Rochus it would be very interesting from a pre-DC perspective...

I was going by the live scoreboard, which, as noted by JC, shows Darcis & Rochus as the winners by 6-7(10) 6-3 [10-2], as does the Completed results section of the ATP site. I'll grant you that the draw sheet shows Monroe & Sock as the winners, but it also gives the score as 7-6(10) 3-6 [2-10], which to me contradicts the contention that Monroe & Sock won it! However, today's OoP does have Col & Ross down to play them in the opening match on Court 1! Now totally & utterly confuse !

Bet365 paid out on Darcis/Rochus winning too!

Pay attention, JC, dear! wink Yes, it is, agin Robert Farah & TCH or Russian Marble Man & Denis Istomin. Well done, boys.

helki · Futures qualifying

Well done boys. Same again in the SF, please.

Colin & Ross are now the only seeded pair left in the draw: the top seeds, the Bryans, lost overnight to Big Ivo & Franky Moser by 6-4 4-6 [4-10], while Michal Mertinak ( disbelief ) & André Sà did for Mark Knowles & Xavier Malisse (4) by 7-6(4) 6-4. Dare we hope...?

SF: Mikhail Elgin & Denis Istomin (RUS/UZB) vs (3) Colin Fleming & Ross Hutchins

Good to reach that final.

Are the top doubles teams they are quite likely to meet if they get into IW and Miami generally not rather more conventional ?

Must admit I'm no expert on doubles, just imagined that the top teams were generally more conventional pretty big serving net players or is there quite a range ?
