Weeks 3 & 4 - Australian Open (hard) - doubles

Close !

Found myself preferring Luke & Jonny to win, much as I like Jamie and that he & Bruno had probably had more chance of going all the way but we were winners either way. Great effort.

Now go Jamie & Bruno, been with you all the way

Really promising for Luke and Johnny who can only get better, what fantastic progress for them both, very mindful of Lukes brutally honest podcast he did with Mike C where he discussed his commitment to making it as a doubles player and had his own timeframe to get to a viable level. He must have exceeded his targets by some way. Jamie and Bruno obviously an elite pairing.

 True, I was thinking men's doubles though.

Yes Anna and Nicole played successfully together in late 2017, and then at the beginning of 2018 Nicole went on to partner with Kveta Peschke, who she is still partnering with now. Interesting that Peschke is now 43 whilst Melichar is 'only' 25.

Missed put on a couple of BPs in the Frenchmen's first service game of Set 3.

Now 1/6 on BPs as against 0/1 ( don't think there were any BPs in set 2 ).
