Good win for Marcus - the ranking seems to be heading back in the right direction.

Marcus wins 6-3 in the second. Well done to him, getting some points on home soil for once :) (And a passing thanks to George C for tiring Julien out a bit yesterday !).

Let's hope for a Willis/Burton v Rice/Thornley final so we can have a battle of the futures doubles kings

Your wish is their command ! (Although I'd like to think that they may be future singles kings (or at least princes!!!) too).

Lewis/Marcus won easily 6-2 6-3

Dave/Sean needed a MTB, which they won 10-3

Marcus much more dangerous on the indoor courts (as is Lewis), questionable scheduling at the start of the year in my opinion.

Why change a winning formula when Marcus was successful playing the GB's last year.

Not a great start for our boys - Marcus has dropped the first set and Dave is a break down.

... and now 2 breaks up in the 2nd set

Dave's match seems to have been stuck at 3-4* deuce for ages - maybe there have just been a LOT of deuces in this game.
