Both pairs won in straights, Neal and Naomi won less points but won the bigger ones! Good to see them both get results.

Congratulations to Mr Skupski on his first GS victory. May it be the first of many! And congratulations to all the others, too (but I think they've all had prior victories ... or perhaps Ms Konta hasn't?) Terrific win by Mr Fleming and Ms Rae.

Well done to all the winners.

Great to see the Commonwealth Games Gold medalists ( Colin & Joss ) back in tandem. I had a feeling that they could do well here, and that is certainly a very impressive looking start.

We always tend to do better in mixed, I suspect its because the opposing doubles pairs treat the mixed less seriously than they do the mens and womens doubles. I'll take it as a Brit win irrespective of the comp is always worth cheering.
