Mr Marray and partner won the first title of the year together, no? Good partnership - but having to play Andy Roddick and Mardy Fish is just dreadful. You can't win ... even if you beat them. And Mr Fleming + partner have definitely drawn a short straw.

I wonder if Mr Roddick's serve is still as potent after so long out of the game. If so, good luck Jonny (and Yen-Hsun)!!

R1:  Colin Fleming & Gilles Müller (LUX) CR 290 (86+214) defeated (2) Vasek Pospisil & Jack Sock (CAN/USA) CR 29 (12+17) by 6-4 4-6 [10-6] 

Wow for the second day in a row!  What a scalp!    Maybe P & S should stick to singles...

Great result, let's hope there are many more to follow. Great move by Fleming teaming up with one of if not Luxemborgs finest ever player.

Pleasing result. I know the seedings are less important for dubs, but hopefully can progress through another couple of rounds at least

So that's what doubles has to do to get a mention as the headline story, eh? Sorry for Mr Marray and Mr Lu; seems to have been fairly close ... especially given that Mr Roddick must be virtually unbreakable. Ironically, the news story also mentions that the Bryans beat Groth and Guccione 6-1 6-2, which means that they not only won almost every point on their serve (21/21 on first serves, lost 3 points on serve) but consistently broke two of the most powerful servers in the game. An almost perfect match against a decent team, in other words. But that's not news ....

Mr Baghdatis and Mr Jaziri up next for Messrs Fleming and Müller. 2nd after 3:00 pm on the Grandstand.

QF: Colin Fleming & Gilles Müller (LUX) CR 290 (86+214) v Marcos Baghdatis & Malek Jaziri (CYP/TUN) CR ... well technically Baghdatis has no doubles ranking. In on his singles of 47. Jaziri's at 367, in on his singles ranking of 77)

PS: Looking at the draw to see who the next opponents might be, I noticed a name I didn't recognise playing with Donald Young. Turns out it's a local university player in his 2nd year, who sometimes serves as Mr Young's hitting partner. And who now has 45 points and a doubles ranking. Nice for him, if he decides to try to play futures!

Hurrah! Well done our GB/LUX pairing. Now to see whether they, too, get Mr Roddick and Mr Fish ... or the well-known Mr Butorac and partner.
