Good to hear such encouraging words about Alex. His results this year haven't hinted at any great breakthrough, but it will be interesting if he is now finding some better form.
Well, this was one where at one level British fans couldn't lose. And given that Inglot/Huey have so much to defend at Roland Garros and over the summer and haven't had a particularly spectacular start to the year, I'm pretty happy with the outcome ... even if Mr Marray in particular is a "fan favourite" around here!
F: Andre Begemann & Martin Emmrich (GER/GER) beat (3) Treat Huey (PHI) & Dominic Inglot 7-5 6-2
After being 2-0 down in the first set, the Germans played pretty well in front of their home crowd, they were making pretty much every return by the end.
