A tall order!

 Not really, Pavic is only 6'4 - Mirnyi was 6'5 wink

Got to love these official heights as stated probably by ATP.  I am 6'0 and I have stood next to Mate Pavic and he is no taller than me.

Is it just my ageing eyes or has Henri gone all grey?

Yes. And Thomas Fabbiano is certainly 5 ft 8 - when wearing three inch heels.

 I thought it's blond? Like Tintin is.

Not looking good for Jamie and Vika, alas.

Scheduling debates aside, this is some comeback from Vika & Jamie, excellent late evening entertainment.

Nicely closed their by Jamie and Vika.

So we have 3 pairs involving a Brit in the last 16, Heather also in ladies doubles still, and 3 pairs incl Brits in men's doubles, incl Jamie in a second event. Hopefully we will see a few of those continue beyond tomorrow?!

Don't get me wrong, I watched most of the last set and it was great entertainment, and quite some comeback.

I know he's a Finn & therefore probably blond, but his hair just didn't look normally blond to me, more actual grey.  As I said, however, my ageing eyes....

His hair definitely looked different to last year.
But what a match! In fact both were great. I had Jamie/Vika on the TV and Hev/Henri on my phone!!!!
So entertaining. Well done to all

Harriet and Jay are playing so well against the first seeds if anyone has got a chance to see it. They take the first set
