Ouch. In fairness, that represents a new partnership and a surface change, against decent opponents. But still would suspect they're not pleased with that.

Disappointed Bambo has given up Tennis for playing Doubles. Always thought he'd be up there with Liam at least and possibly Kyle.

Pleased to see that result.  I'd half-feared the worst.  The semi may prove more of a challenge, however:

SF:  (3) Guillermo Durán & Fabricio Neis (ARG/BRA) CR 218 (94+124) vs (2) Ken Skupski & Neal Skupski CR 202 (98+104)

To win after losing the first set from being a break up (I think!) represents an excellent win for K & N. After months of mediocrity let's hope the confidence they will gain from this will finally see them making progress. Congratulations and good luck!
