Couldn't have hoped for a kinder draw for 60 points in R1; fingers crossed they can make the most of it :)

The main aim will be to pick up the points and break into the top 75 to get a GS place. Then of course they should be self financing as long as they stay at that level.

 That's the key, but the annoying part about the GS's, is that they allow a whole host of singles players, who have no other intention than to pick up the handsome 1st round prize money use their singles rankings to enter, there's quite a few who you never see play doubles on the regular tour who suddenly turn up in a GS draw.

Lost 4+4, very tight 1st set 30 points a piece, but 2nd was comfortable. A couple of wins on the clay with favourable draws here and last week, could have been better, but it is clay, more to come from this pair.

Yeah I think that's a respectable result, last week was disappointing but they have next week on hardcourts and another career high.

Ah pity, but yes perfectly respectable.

Be good if it's another CH. Will just be up a net 10 ranking points ( defending 50, earned 60 ).
