I think it's me being more hopeful that the first British men's doibles semi finalist in a very long time would get a more premium court.

To be fair that is 5 vs 10 seeding but meh

ANYWAY GO MARRAY NEILSEN

 

Nah, your first comment re it being bizarre was appropriate.  Anyway go Jonny and partner !!

Court 3 for the semi final but bizarrely the other men's doubles semi gets court one. Hmmmm

 

It isn't bizarre. It is absolutely disgusting.

I am utterly gob smacked that the schedulers would do this. I don't expect home players to always be given preferential treatment but of all tomorrow's doubles matches the one that most people would want to see is this one. I mean FFS, Colin Fleming played his mixed doubles 3rd round on centre court and will play his QF on court 1. Surely, surely Jonny being in mens doubles SF is a far, far bigger match from a British perspective.

I am absolutely gutted for Jonny that he has been denied his place on a big court and I just hope that he reacts to this snub the right way and rams it down the organisers throats and books a place on centre court Saturday afternoon.

Marray/Nielsen's stats are astounding. 17/19 first serves in? Winning 100% of second service points. Please keep it up!

BTW -- is there any conceivable reason why they are on Court 12?!?!

Yes!   Unbelievable!

SF:  (WC) Jonny Marray & Freddie Nielsen (DEN) defeated (2) Mike Bryan & Bob Bryan (USA/USA) by 6-4 7-6(9) 6-7(4) 7-6(5)  biggrin

Shades of Dom & Chris Eaton 2-3 years ago, but at a later stage! wink They seem unstoppable at the moment!  Long may it continue!

You've got to start somewhere ....

 

Jesting aside, what strikes me is their amazing ability to hold nerve in difficult situations. Astounding.

 Yeah cant understand why they put this match on court 12, considering its a Brit in action agaisnt the best doubles players in the world and with the other match on court 1? 

Also stupid that they decide to put a stupid old ladies match on court 3 and not this one!
