Ranking wasn't good enough to get him in. Huey and Marray only just scrapped in. Dom has come back to Europe and is playing the Mons challenger.

Ah! Couldn't find this thread at 5.30 this am so posted my comments in Andy's thread.

Good start in the fight to maintain Andy's staus in the top 100 in the doubles rankings.

But it shouldn't have to come to this, relying on big bro again to keep his head above water. But here we are a year on from their title triumph and it's back to Jamie. If Andy ever wants to be truly respected as a doubles player he needs to find another more regular partner.
