So maybe I should remove the statement about Dave being the stronger doubles player as it is clearly subjective and based on 3-4 viewing.
the fact is that after winning week in week out on the 10k circuit, they took the risk to step up to challengers with minimal success so far. This cannot be financially sustainable for Sean as he has no singles to fall back on(won't earn much in singles via challenger qualifying). Dave is doing well enough in singles to earn a living with doubles as a bonus.

I guess the question I am really asking is should the LTA be funding doubles specialists?

Good confidence booster for Josh and a reasonable chance to qualify and pick up sme much needed points.

Dave, Sean and Brydan all on court. The notoriously muggy Sabry has been knocked out in QR2, meaning Dave really should be qualifying.

For the love of all things holy !

Brydan 2-4 down. Gets it back to 5-4. Serves for the match. Broken. Now 5*-6 . . .

At 5*-6 15*-40 (i.e. 2 MP to Duldaev) the scoreboard stood still for over 5 mins, and then when it got going again didn't start whirring in the way it does when there was a glitch.

Probably libel, but I can't help but feel that Brydan had a major (and cynical) hissy fit at MP down. Certainly worked. saved the 2 MP and now a TB.

If anyone knows any different I take it all back and apologise . ..

Well, whatever, who knows, but Brydan loses the TB 7-4.

I think this result will see Klein drop to British No10. I wonder if the LTA will ever get round to creating a profile page for him on their website.

 Hopefully not! However his ranking has fallen since he became British maybe he should fly the Aussie flag again
