Thank you, wimbledont and Indy! Very exciting site, even if with its foibles (my favourite is that it seems to think that Andre Sa's previous CH was 1620 ... but then that entry seems a bit confused overall). Thanks for letting us know about it - and thanks, as always, Indy, for keeping tabs on the situation overall.

I see from the live rankings site that Jamie is the second youngest of the current top 16 with just Monsieur Herbert still to reach 30. Many are well through their 30s and Mr Nestor has left them behind.

Thank goodness for 5 setters. Jamie/Bruno are currently a set and a break down. At least the 5 set match gives them a chance of a comeback.

Jonny/Adil also a break down at the start of their match.

I reckon we could have a all French final here, what a good QF line up though.

Jamie & Bruno are not giving up without a fight!  They finally get a foot in the door, taking the tie-break by 13-11 - after several set points went a-begging, I might add! smile

The fat lady was warming up during most of Jamie & Bruno's TB and they saved at least one MP, but on we go ..

4-6 4-6 7-6(11)

We'll get SC to have more faith that Brits win their fair share of tight sets and matches yet

If Jamie & Bruno take the current match to a fifth set, I may just start to believe.  smile

I see Klaasen & Ram (11) have just dumped out the Bryans in straight sets!

Jamie & Bruno had BP at 5-5* but not to be and now *5-6 so they must hope to take another set on a TB.
