Tough luck for Sean but in all honesty the level of interest I have in Kyle playing doubles is somewhat limited. I think it is safe to say that his priorities lie elsewhere.

Yes, the chance for good points for Sean to get him into better doubles events more regularly would have been especially useful.

Jamie M and John have just started well against the Italians: *2-0

Spectator · All-time great

Honesty compels me to say that I'm more impressed by that than by the victory yesterday. Or perhaps impressed by the two of the results taken together. Very, very good.

First set wrapped up without drama for Murray/Peers: 6-3

Spectator · All-time great

6-3, 2-0. Looking good.

Jamie and John win in straight sets 6-2 6-4

Brit doubles interests for tomorrow:
Jamie D/James OR Colin/Jonny 5th after 11:00 (and not before 16:00) on Centre Court - following Kyle
Jamie M/John 5th after 11:00 on Court 1 - following Heather
Ken/Paul 3rd after 11:00, on Court 4.

In the battle of the Brits Colin and Jonny take the first set 7-6(3)

R1: (4) Colin Fleming & Jonny Marray beat (WC) Jamie Delgado & James Ward 7-6(3) 6-4

I'm quite glad the fairly established doubles pair beat the scratch pair.

Thanks for the report, Seagull. (Appropriate tournament for a seagull to attend .... ) Would love to see Thornley/Rice get a good draw at Wimbledon and do really well. Or just do really well!

Watched most of the Edmund/Thornley match (standing next to Leon Smith and Jamie Murray!!). Have to say the best player on court was Sean Thornley who played great doubles tennis. Edmund more than held his own, but Ram carried their opponents through in the MTB...was not impressed with Booty at all.

Peers was talking to his coach afterwards who remarked that Jamie seemed to have got his mojo back!

And take the MTB [10-5]

Very good win for Jamie & John, who are coming along quite nicely as a pairing.

Add: they play Peya/Soares [1] in the SF.

You beat me too it. I was there too and had planned to post exactly the same about Sean Thornley. I can't understand why his doubles ranking is not higher. I hope it will be soon.
