Spectator · All-time great

I hadn't really twigged quite how dominant a year the Bryans were having until I looked at the rankings: 8555 points, with the nearest competition on 2925 and the cutoff for top 8 at 1365. Seven titles, including three Masters and two GS ... by June. And were they to win Wimbledon, they'd hold all four GS titles (and the Olympics) at the same time. Not bad.

PS: SC, I think the PR comes about because it's Andy, not Rajeev, Ram.

R1: (WC) Jamie Murray & John Peers (AUS) WR (combined) 128 (but 28th in the Race!) defeated Grigor Dimitrov & Frederik Nielsen (BUL/DEN) WR 110 by 7-6(5) 6-3

*****

R2: (WC) Jamie Murray & John Peers (AUS) WR (combined) 128 (but 28th in the Race!) vs (7) Ivan Dodig (him again! furious ) & Marcelo Melo (CRO/BRA) WR (combined) 54

Presumably Jamie & JP will be main draw DAs in SW19.

They went a break down in the second set, but recovered it three games later, only to squander four match points in the twelfth game! On course for an encounter with the Bryans in the QF... hmm

RJA · Hall of fame

It is just gone 6:40 PM on Thursday and Colin and Jonny finally know the identity of their first opponents.

R2: (5) Colin Fleming & Jonny Marray WR 44 v Benoit Paire & Edouard Rojer-Vasselin (FRA/FRA) WR 146

The match is scheduled to be played tonight but the French team have only just finished their first round match so it might be a little while yet.
