A disappointing result to come home to.  They were going so well when I left work:

R1:  (4) Flavio Cipolla & Dominik Meffert (ITA/GER) CR 272 (173+99) defeated Ed Corrie & Sean Thornley CR 371 (183+188) by 7-5 2-6 [10-7] cry

Hey, I'm getting a vague hold on this ranking points stuff after all these years :)

 

That means they'll probable go and change it now . . cry

 

Liam on the OoP for tomorrow - 11 a.m. french time. Watch that space . . .

 I'm heading up to Glasgow tomorrow for the DC and also to catch up with Liam for a chat, so given he's said he'll be in Glasgow all week, if he does travel here...... I'll just have to assume there's been a change of plan.

apparently Vincent retired due to a right knee injury.

was going to cut & paste but it wouldn't allow me - hence the link

Well, at least that's confirmed.

It was never on the cards that he'd fly out. And, after all, the DC guys still need him.

Just wonder why he left it so long.

Hopefully, this'll help Ed . . .

It's got to be good for Ed that he's going to play either (a) Rousset, the guy he beat in two sets the qualies, or (b) Kapas, the guy Josh Milton beat in two sets in January in Glasgow.

And for Liam that, in my view, that's now his MD WImbledon card guaranteed (he's got pretty few points coming off too, just the Bournemouth win of any real note, so his ranking will be fine). And that the DC boys get full practice against their swinging leftie.

All good really . . .

 His movement looked fine!  He had to say something more sensible than "brain fade".....

 ha :) sometimes its the nuances.  you can feel something and it prevents further injury.

I'm with steveM, I don't believe it either, more likely lack of sleep or infant-colic-father syndrome. Not that it matters. You've got to put something 'reasonable'. Hope he's OK, whatever.

Kapas is winning quite easily at the moment.

Darren Walsh (and Arends) currently on ATP livestream.

Just got the break. 4*-3

Can't help but have a certain respect for Darren - quietly ploughing his own 'doubles' farrow - has stepped up from futures to challengers pretty successfully, not part of the old LTA doubles pack, but all on his own (I'm assuming).

Good luck to him.

Ed should be up in a few minutes, on livestream.

He's supposed to be flying out to Canada this weekend, I think - would be nice if it was all a mad rush because he was still in Quimper :)

NB the guy (Teixeira) that Ed lost by a whisker to last week in Cherbourg, in qualies, who then went on to make the QF of the main draw, has also come through qualies this week, and also made the QF (at least), thrashing Arnaboldi
