Controversial point at 11-11 ! Jamie half heartedly played a volley off a return which was off a serve which was clearly out, which didn't get called. There was no going back though, but Jamie and Bruno went ballistic, but all it did was put off their opponents who promptly double faulted. High quality match and lots of drama !

Ah, I saw on LS there seemed a big halt at *11-11 before they were shown as MP down at 11-12* ?? ( having missed 4 MPs themselves in the MTB in what was latterly a bit of a mini breakathon ).

Anyway, nice little workout for first match on clay of the year, win 6-7(5) 7-6(9) [14-12]

Dom & Andy about to start and are streamed.

Not a good start from Dom with three doubles in the first game.

wolf · Tennis legend

Very flat start...0-3*

wolf · Tennis legend

After losing the first set 6-2, out of nowhere they break from 40-0 down to lead *2-0 in the second set.

Second set in the bag 6-3.

I'm assuming Dom was a little nervous playing with our superstar, but seems to have got it together now.

Andy and Dom running away with the last set 4-1.

Good stuff. Hopefully this all going to boost Dom's ranking so that he doesn't in future have to slum it with some random singles guy just get into such tournaments

His usual partner in crime is doing exactly the same thing - or perhaps not exactly the same: he's actually playing with another doubles specialist (Peya). smile

Soares' old partner in crime, funnily enough.
