I think there's a remarkable stat along the lines of 13 of last 15 players (or something like that!) to have beaten Nadal have got knocked out the next round...!

Aljaz Bogwardovic anyone?

 Bedene's performance has to meet some objective criteria, surely, before he gets lumbered with that accolade. One bad loss seems a bit harsh.

It was originally claimed to do with having difficulty getting into the top 100 ( rather than heaven forbid some retrospective snipe at Bogdanovic ), but if there are any objective criteria they seem to have become much looser.

Anyway, nicofrance does seem to have so far escaped Oakland being hugely concerned about just how much liquid remains in their glass.

Got to be Andersons title here now though with what is left you'd think.

I was just inviting Bedene into the British fold in my own dynamic way Indiana. Thought it was quite creative personally.

Good luck to Dom in the final if anyone gets to read this before the forum Gestapo get on it.

Right. It's finally time to comment, which I haven't wanted to do, given Mr Inglot's recent travails, until now. But well done indeed in reaching the finals ... and beating a few potential DC opponents in the process.

SF: (4) Dom Inglot & Robert Lindstedt (SWE) CR 80 (45+35) d Sam Groth & Chris Guccione (AUS/AUS) CR 154 (95+59) 6-4 4-6 11-9

F: (4) Dom Inglot & Robert Lindstedt (SWE) CR 80 (45+35) v (3) Eric Butorac & Scott Lipsky (USA/USA) CR 74 (38 + 36)

Although the title of this thread says doubles, the majority is about the singles and Ali's 'amazing' win and 'amazing' loss.

Just to mention, that qualifier Pierre-H Herbert, who beat Bedene so convincingly, went on to win his QF and his SF and is now in his first ATP final. Not bad for someone ranked WR 140.

And in terms of 'momentum' matches (as per comments on other thread), supposedly his semi was completely one-sided (for Johnson) until suddenly, in set 2, P-H H just connected with three returns and hit three return clean winners, broke, and the game shifted. No reason, he said, that those returns suddenly zoomed in whereas the others hadn't landed in the court, and just lucky that it was three of them, back-to-back to make a game (practically).

I liked Dom's twitter comment that, of the 4 players, he had the slowest serve. Bet that was a first for him!

Yay,

Good to see from Dom. And wanted him in form to give Davis Cup options.

And for doubles, sorry Marray and Fleming supporters, but for me the current options are Andy, Jamie and Dom.

Fantastic timing and win for Dom. I'd agree this win has displaced Colin and Jonny now (unless one does something special in the USO)
