Delgo & Skups took the second set by 7-6(6) against the fourth seeds to level the match (Delgo double-faulted on break point while serving for the second set in the ninth game, although the pair had also led by 5-2...). smile Squeaky bum time (as if it hadn't been already ...)!

QF: Treat Conrad Huey (PHI) & Dominic Inglot defeated (2) Mark Knowles & Xavier Malisse (BAH/BEL) (WR 115) by 3-6 6-4 [10-8] biggrin

I had kinda hoped, but didn't dare give voice to that hope...

*****

SF: Bobby Reynolds & Michael Russell (USA/USA) vs Treat Conrad Huey (PHI) & Dominic Inglot

The Yanks took out the fourth seeds, Brunström & Norman, by 3 & 2 in the QF, but Dom & TCH look to have their eye in...

stevemcqueen · Futures qualifying

Dom & Treat take out the Malisse & Knowles(2) 10-8 in the MTB. Good result for them.

SMC1809 · All-time great

Dom should rise another 30 places in the doubles ranking after that win. Wouldn't be surprised if he was top 100 by US Open.

Terrific news to log on to! Wonder what it'll do for his ranking: he's 193rd with 351 points at the moment. The 150 points for reaching the final will therefore take him to 501 (he doesn't appear to be defending any this week), a total with which Ryan Harrison, who seems not to have been involved in the doubles this week, occupies the N° 146 spot. Were he & TCH to take the title ( ), the 250 points would take him up to 601; Andy Roddick is currently N° 124 with 600 points. OK, my mental arithmetic (never my forte! Thanks for drawing my attention to the error, Shhh. ) was a bit out the first time round & no doubt I've still got it completely round my neck...

Dom has made it into his first ATP main tour Final!

It is Treat's second - he lost his first in LA last year 7-6(3) 7-6(10) to Knowles & Malisse, the pair he and Dom beat in the QFs here.

SF: Dominic Inglot & Treat Conrad Huey (PHI) beat Bobby Reynolds & Michael Russell (USA/USA) 6-3 3-6 10:6

FI: Dominic Inglot & Treat Conrad Huey (PHI) v James Blake & Sam Querrey (USA/USA)

Shhh · Challenger level

Okay, I'll point this out as I am sure someone else will otherwise!

If Dom is on 351 points at the momenbt, another 150 will take him to 501 (not 401) and likewise, another 250 for winning the title would make 601 (not 501).

Back to bed for you Stircrazy, its obviously too early yawn

LordBrownof · Futures level

has Dom played French or Wimbledon doubles much before? Looks like we might have a few chances to go deep in both tournaments!
