Treat's been playing World Team Tennis so I guess he can't take a week off and Dom had to find another partner.

R1: Rajeev Ram (USA) & Ken Skupski CR 149 beat Dominic Inglot & Frank Moser (GER) CR 117 6-4 6-4

Expected result, Ram is a much better doubles player than Moser.

The word "doubles" is redundant in that sentence.

A very satisfying win for Ken & RR. smile

*****

QF:  James Blake & Jack Sock (USA/USA) CR 142 vs (3) Colin Fleming & Jonny Marray CR 62
QF:  Rajeev Ram (USA) & Ken Skupski CR 149 vs Chris Guccione & Lleyton Hewitt (AUS/AUS) CR 475

The Aussie pair saw off the second seeds, Santiago González & Scott Lipsky (CR 57), by 3-6 7-6(2) [10-2] in the first round, so will be no pushovers.

Colin & Jonny have the second night match on Stadium (following Isner v C Harrison, which is NB 7 pm local time) so looks like a late one at our end!

Not looking good as things stand at the moment:  2-3* in the second, but could've been worse, as the boys were break points down in the fifth game!

No good.  The Aussies make it look like child's play:

QF:  Chris Guccione & Lleyton Hewitt (AUS/AUS) CR 475 defeated Rajeev Ram (USA) & Ken Skupski CR 149 by 1 & 2 bleh

No surprise there. Hewitt and Guccione have had some fantastic results for Australia in the Davis Cup and are a far, far better team than their combined rank suggests.

I guess one out of two ain't bad:

QF:  (3) Colin Fleming & Jonny Marray CR 62 defeated James Blake & Jack Sock (USA/USA) CR 142 by 3 & 2 smile

*****

Here's hoping they can avenge Ken's & Rajeev's defeat:

SF:  (3) Colin Fleming & Jonny Marray CR 62 vs Chris Guccione & Lleyton Hewitt (AUS/AUS) CR 475

And avenge Ken's & Rajeev's defeat they did:

SF:  (3) Colin Fleming & Jonny Marray CR 62 defeated Chris Guccione & Lleyton Hewitt (AUS/AUS) CR 475 by 6-4 7-7(6) smile

*****

Final:  (4) Edouard Roger-Vasselin & Igor Sijsling (FRA/NED) CR 84

Fingers crossed...
