There's a nice profile cum interview by Alyson Rudd with Jamie in today's Times marred by a somewhat unfortunate, but classic, typo:  "I think the David Cup, on the BBC on a Saturday afternoon, that definitely increased my pubic [sic] awareness...".  He got it the wrong way round anyway:  it should have been "that definitely increased the public's awareness of me".

Say it very, very quietly ... but Jonny Marray and Adil Shamasdin just took the first set from Rojer and Tecau by 6-2. And it's a three set match.

Brilliant result for Jonny and Adil :D
Pity about Colin's draw; gave it a good go though
And gave Jamie and Bruno a useful extended workout :)

Fingers crossed for the Skupski Bros who are warming up in Court 19.
