Is there a page like this one www.tennis4wta.com/Siralama/s1_50.html for dubs teams. My head is s*****d trying to work out what each team needs to do to qualify.
Of all tyrannies a tyranny exercised for the good of its victim may be the most oppressive.... those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience
Well done to all the forumites - I'm sure they could feel the stress all the way in China ! Takes years off you . . . and well done to the men too . . .
Wonderful win. Well, two wonderful wins, but Gonzalez/Lipsky aren't quite as formidable a pairing as Mirnyi and Tecau - and holding one's nerve in a match that close against very seasoned multi-Slam finalists/winners is no small thing. Well done indeed.
So we finally get some more doubles play! Terrific news to log on to at work!
R1: Dominic Inglot & Treat Huey (PHI) CR 57 defeated Max Mirnyi & Horia Tecau (BLR/ROU) CR 50 by 6-7(4) 7-6(2) [17-15] - what a dingdong battle that appears to have been! R1: Colin Fleming & Jonny Marray CR 49 defeated Santiago González & Scott Lipsky (MEX/USA) CR 64 by 3-6 7-5 [10-7]
Let's hope Jamie & John can do the business against Montañés & Robredo & make it a hat trick of victories later!

The stakes get higher & tougher in the next round:
