Sorry Jonny O, but decided against the drive today. Something to do with being up until 3.30am watching Kyle's semi final in Atlanta. No way I could get up early enough after that to make the journey.

 If you're morphing into Bob-in-Brazil in a few days time, you've probably got a list as long as your arm of things you need to do too .....so you're forgiven (well by me, can't speak for Jonny O, of course smile)

If they had told me sooner about playing Segovia (which is 30 mins from Madrid), I could have organised myself to get there for a couple of days.  I could have traveled up to Madrid on Monday, spent Tues/Weds at the tennis before flying out of Madrid to Brazil on Thursday.  All too late for that now though.

So basically it's Jonny's fault I'm not there  smile

Would you Adam & soddin' bloody Eve it?

L16:  (1) Steven de Waard & Ben Mclachlan (AUS/JPN (*)) CR 271 (135+136) vs Scott Clayton & Jonny O'Mara CR 423 (197+226)

Blimey!  Maclachlan hails from Queenstown, which is on the South Island of New Zealand, & lives in Kiwi-land, yet he's now playing for Japan.  Wonder sort of financial scooby-do went on to persuade him to switch his allegiance?

Not great draw for Scott and Jonny considering they weren't far off being seeded themselves. The #3 and #4 seeds have CRs of 407 and 412 respectively.

Indeed only one pair in the draw has a CR more than 50 better than them and they draw that pair. Hopefully they can still show how they have really progressed.

As I guessed when I saw a picture of him, since confirmed by a tiny bit of digging, his mother, Yuriko, is Japanese, so there's nothing particularly odd about the switch.

The boys are a set up against the top seeds.
Interesting to see what Jonny decides to do regarding singles if he has a few good results in doubles at challenger level. His singles ranking will drop significantly next week.

OK. Best to do this officially.

L16: Scott Clayton & Jonny O'Mara CR 423 (197+226) beat (1) Steven de Waard & Ben Mclachlan (AUS/JPN (*)) CR 271 (135+136) 7-6(6) 6-2  smile

I think they've earned a smiley face on this result.

Yay

It's a bigger challenger too. 18 / 35 / 60 / 100 points. That's 18 ticked off so far.
