Hope I am not going to jinx them here, but I feel that a big week for them is getting closer and closer. Their form has been good recently and their defeats have been by the narrowest of margins. So I just think they are due a good run. Hope it's here.

Well they play Cabal & Farah next who are having an excellent year and are very good on clay so will be definite second favourites.

That is a very good win against a decent pair on their favourite surface.

I'm glad Ross is picking up points now.

Spectator · All-time great

Hear, hear. Yes, they haven't had a run yet, but they're consistently beating good pairs in ATP-level matches and losing only narrowly to others. I'd be surprised if they could beat Cabal and Farah on clay, but who knows?

Good to see !

I may have had doubts about Ross's rapid inclusion back in the Davis Cup team. But all continuing well, I do think longer term that, leaving aside Andy, Colin and Ross are the best GB has on the doubles front.
