What do you think of the guidelines, wolf, and particularly allowing singles rankings to count the same as doubles rankings to qualify against an ad hoc target for determining GB doubles MD WCs, irrespective of their doubles rankings ?

Do you think that these guidelines are worth reconsidering for the future ?

I watched all of the Skupskis. They didn't do much wrong but Ken didn't play as well as Neal.

brown hit a behind the legs lob and a hot dog in the 6th game of the second set and it completely changed the match

Well, well, well!  Who'd'a thunk it?

R1:  (WC) Jamie Delgado & Gilles Müller (LUX) CR 494 (112+382) defeated Yen-Hsun Lu & Divij Sharan (TPE/IND) CR 370 (296+74) by 2-6 2-6 7-6(3) 6-3 6-2  biggrin

Somebody must have put something a bit special in their drinks at the end of that second set - or it took them until then to figure out how to play on grass together, or losing the tie-break pretty much knocked the stuffing out of their opponents...! wink

Just in passing, no tears being shed here to see Benoit Paire lose his doubles today.

After losing his singles yesterday, he's quoted on many French sites as saying he hates Wimbledon, hates the officials, hate the atmosphere, hates the whole set-up . . .

Well, you didn't have to come, sunshine. Nobody made you. And there's some barbed retorts about why he bothered to turn up for his doubles then . . .

In fact, the only 'true' thing he said was 'I'd better not say any more or else everyone will think I'm a little sh*t'.

Great that Jamie and Gilles got a win here, but I am not really disappointed at all at that R2 clash.

Typically - BBC News this morning in their Wimbledon report didn't even mention Jamie D's success yesterday!
Perhaps with a name like Delgado they didn't realise he was British.

 You'd hope they would, given he's been around for the last 20 years!

Just heard the beeb (telly) around the matches, Kyle on the red button, Marray, Corrie and Smethurst ignored.
