I hope Mac & Jonas win their first round, and that Andy & James win theirs - they would meet in the next round!!

Just been looking at the draw - don't they each have to win their second round matches too>?

You are quite right, I was obviously cross-eyed when I wrote that. Next up are the no 4 seeds, Levinsky and Lindstedt.

Drat, I was looking forward to that. Come on lads, don't let a couple of seeds get in your way! (and of course Mac and Jonas would have to beat the no 2 seeds Huss and Arthurs as well - have they played yet? in the first round, and then another couple, before I could get my match)

Edit - no, mac hasn't played yet, the first round match is last on court today.

Lets hope they make it through! I was hoping that I was the one looking at it cross-eyed: it would be a wonderful match-up

Just one more win for McEnroe and Murray in the doubles and what a doubles match we would get !!!!!!

Andy and James are on last so around 3-4am again. Murray is playing singles against Soderling 3 Matches before hand though so maybe he might be tired come to match with Auckland.

Andy & james lst 63 64

Here I think we see why the top men do not play doubles. Andy was last on court playing doubles on Thursday night (Friday morning our time) then back on court to play his quarter-final singles in what I think must have been less than 18 hours: then back again shortly after that to play the next round of doubles. No wonder if he was tired.

I agree Mad. But still 6-3 6-4 against a good pair seeded 4th is still okay. Possibly just a couple of breaks could have decided this !
