I think that is good for Neal and Jamie - they hadnt hit the heights of what we all hoped and I think now Neal is at a decent ranking, he needs to find someone younger to play with - mate Pavic seems available!!

In the world of doubles Rojer & Tecau were a long term pair but the signs were they might be splitting. And I see Pavic is off the market.

Seems like Pavic surprisingly wanted to split with Soares after Paris and straight away Jamie sent him a message.

Madadman · Top national player

Never quite worked for Neal and Jamie. The end of partnership being so close to the tour finals but not quite making it probably sums up the partnership perfectly.
Will be interesting to see who Neal partners with next. Id guess hell be hoping for a top 30ish doubles partner. Wont be a Brit as Ken is the next closest to him at 56.

2 QF and 1 SF in 5 Grand Slams
1 QF, 2 SF and 1 Final in 7 Masters
A credible Davis Cup

It wasn't a bad partnership for Jamie & Neal

They were actually a lot better in the bigger tournaments, their 250 and 500 results weren't great.

Not bad but no glory and I think jamie broke with bruno to push on from that but instead went a little back. 9th best team, I think jamie wants top 2 or 3.

If his ranking was higher, neal and jack sock did v well in world team tennis I recall.

Was Jamie the stronger player of the partnership though or was Neal carrying him somewhat.

That's a good point , I often thought that.

Question for neal is who's available. Skugor, chardy, bopanna are only ones in top 40, then you're down to jonny o and luke territory.

Hmmm I have my doubts about Jamie too.

Scratch above, from mtf

Still free(i think) are Neal Skupski, Klaasen, Marach, Bopanna, Skugor, Krajicek, Dodig, Tecau and few other guys.

So some options there. Krajicek might be a decent fit.
