Weeks 26 & 27: Wimbledon (grass) - men's doubles
Permalink  

No draw available yet, obviously, but a thread to flag up the fact that Colin & Ross have been seeded 13th & "Booty & Stretch", as they used to be known in the good old days, 14th.  I guess Eric will once again become an honorary Brit for the duration of the tournament! wink

Also in the draw, Lewis Burton & George Morgan, who qualified yesterday (  ), the WCs Jamie Delgado & Ken Skupski, Jonny Marray & Freddie Nielsen (DEN), Josh Goodall & James Ward & Liam Broady & Oli Golding.  From what I gathered from Dom's interview with John Inverdale on ITV4 towards the end of the first week of Roland-Garros, he & TCH were ranked highly enough to be in as DAs.  The presence of Sean & David among that lot would've been the icing on the cake... hmm

Surprised Booty wants anything to do with Stretch as he dumped him.

confuse  Er, I would draw your attention to this sentence in my opening post:

From what I gathered from Dom's interview with John Inverdale on ITV4 towards the end of the first week of Roland-Garros, he & TCH were ranked highly enough to be in as DAs.

I think it is best of 5 tiebreak sets, long final set. It was last year - I looked up the Bryans' playing activity for 2011.

Edit - dammit, too slow again!

R1:  (12) Santiago González & Christopher Kas (MEX/GER) vs (WC) Liam Broady & Oli Golding

R1:  Steve Darcis & Olivier Rochus (BEL/BEL) vs (Q) Lewis Burton & George Morgan

The winners of those two matches play one another in the second round.  Let's hope it's an all-British encounter...

R1:  Jonathan Erlich & Andy Ram (ISR/ISR) vs Treat Conrad Huey (PHI) & Dominic Inglot

Winnable, I'd've thought, but Dom & TCH will in all probability face the fourth seeds, Leander Paes & Radek "Ugly Mug" Stepanek, in the second round, should they come through that one. hmm

R1:  (8) Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi & Jean-Julien Rojer (PAK/NED) vs (WC ) Josh Goodall & James Ward  bleh

R1:  (WC) Jonny Marray & Freddie Nielsen (DEN) vs (9) Marcel Granollers & Marc López (ESP/ESP)

R1:  (13) Colin Fleming & Ross Hutchins vs Mikhail Kukushkin & Lukas Rosol (KAZ/CZE)

R1:  (14) Eric Butorac (USA) & Jamie Murray vs André Begemann & Igor Zelenay (GER/SVK)

If the fourteenth seeds can't overecome their R1 opponents, they don't deserve to be in the draw...

R1:  (WC) Jamie Delgado & Ken Skupski vs Matthias Bachinger & Tobias Kamke (GER/GER)

Rotten draw for Jamie & Ken:  assuming they get past the Germans, the Bryans (2) lie in wait... bleh

Full draw.

Help please?

What is the scoring for Wimbledon Mens Doubles these days?
Is it best of 3 tie-break sets in all rounds?
Or are we still with best of 5 tie-break sets?
Or a combination of best of 3 in the early rounds and then 5 sets in Final?
IIRC Wimbledon doesn't do a CTB to 10.

As with the Men's Singles it is the best of 5 sets, the first 4 being tiebreak sets and the 5th an advantage set. However if rain intervenes the organisers reserve the right to curtail early rounds to best of 3 (they did that in the first round last year)

Thanks - and to Madeline also.  It was the 3set bit from last year that was confusing me a bit until I started looking around.

I've just  found the 2011 Mens Doubles Draw with this note attached:

The Men's Doubles event was originally scheduled to begin on June 22, but due to bad weather it was delayed until the next day. To accommodate other rain delayed matches, the first-round matches were played best of three sets, with best of five set scoring being resumed in the second round.

Nasty first-round draws, on the whole, for all save the two seeds and Delgado/Skupski. But there have been some stellar surprise results of late, so who knows?
