I was referring to the wild card debate. There was ALOT of disaprovement over the EdWard inclusion. My point was that they have put up a better showing than some of the other wild cards . Agreed though, some amazing results today. Well done guys / gals

Now one set each

Hmm, you did actually talk about "a few of our doubles players who had soft losses today" Whatever ...

Really pleased for the Skupskis. Very consistent this year and got a raw deal at Queens.
Nice little earner, some good points and hopefully will be enough to play some more main tour events.

A debate can only happen if there are two sides however unbalanced ;)
Anyway, back to the tennis.

The boys are ahead 3-2 on serve. Nothing in this...

Umm yes...we've had losses in the doubles today. Which were soft in comparison to this effort. Just my opinion.

What is the prize money for reaching the 2nd round in the doubles ?

£14,250 to the pair, which I am sure they will share on an agreeable basis.

The only other losses we've have had (ignoring the Brit v Brit clash) are Alex & Brydan losing to the 15th seeds with a competitive scoreline and Dan & Lloyd losing with a disappointing scoreline. We've had several excellent wins first round wins and a second round win for Jonny.

Kyle & James were playing clay courters so that's actually a pretty poor loss, they would have struggled to get a better draw than that.

Seems very sensible to give our nos 2 and 3 Davis Cup singles players the chance to play doubles together.

Andy, Jamie, Kyle and Dan might be a stronger team than Andy, Jamie, Kyle and Dom; particularly as neither Jamie nor Dom would be a convincing injury replacement singles player.

Hence, yes. There were other losses today. 

You can also be a clay court specialist  / base liner but be a great doubles player. 

The debate over wild cards- the criteria, fairness, inconsistencies, favouritism etc will rage on and on. 

My question on this particular thread wasn't to do with any of that And I'd like to throw it out to the forum. Do we complain about who should be given wc's / not want them in the draw (Press included) then jump up and down screaming in support Whilst they play.  Only to a) say I told you so when they inevitably lose. Or b) praise them as God like creatures when they upset the odds. 

is it hypocritical? And please don't attack me for asking

No, I don't think peiple do, on the forum at least, certainly not choosing a) or b) depending on the result.

I do see windledont's argument re the Davis Cup, though if that was a particular consideration and we accept it as a WC use maybe Edmund and Evans were a more appropriate pairing.
