Damn, after that very promising first set, the rest of the match was rather anti-climatic. They dropped the first game of the second set and were behind from then on, started the MTB really badly too.. So they've reached two finals in their first two tournaments together, but failed to win either so far. cry cry

Doubles will never be taken seriously until they sort out the scoring system. Its a lottery, pick a number etc.

If they would just get rid of the no-ad rule, that would make a big difference to reducing the lottery element. I don't mind so much the MTB, since they aren't going to go back to best of 3 sets but the double deuce rule I don't like at all.
