Yes, Joe is at Gosling.

In other news, Dom and Franko have taken the third set in an epic tiebreak 13-11, where neither team wanted to win it.

Dom and Franko have started their fight back taking the 3rd set 13-11 in a breaker. Perhaps Franko has finally recovered from his hangover after last night's celebrations.

Joe and Freddie have lost the third though so they are also 2 sets to 1 down.

Have to say I am watching more of Dom's match and he is playing brilliantly.

Yes its Eds brother I think. I had forgotten about the Gosling connection. Im starting to get annoyed listening to John Lloyd prattling on. He is number 2 on my Room 101 list after Castle.

John Lloyd would go first in my list.

Personally I think it's hilarious that the red button has the Castle / Bates veterans doubles match on - is anyone in this whole wide country actaully watching that?????

I said on the singles thread I dont cheer against anyone. But I take that back now and am tempted to cheer against Castle if I could bare to watch him

Dom and Franko are in to a fourth set breaker and Skugor has played 2 superb points to make it *3-0

Enjoyed watching Joe and Freddie there, best team won though. Nice wee payday for Joe. Wonder if Freddie will go back to singles qualies at Challenger Level or finally throw in the towel in that respect?

Two break points come and go for Dom and Franko, should have taken the second one.

*2-3

They lost 6-4 in the 5th

Bryan becomes oldest man at 40 to hold No1 spot in mens doubles 4 years after his last Mens GS title. Neither brother has won a GS Mens Doubles with another partner so exciting times for Mike and he looks to be enjoying Jack's company.
