Fab!!!

JonH · All-time great

Joe and Rajeev comfortably 3rd in race. Luke and Jonny will be 8th regardless of results today, Jamie and Bruno 9th.

Who would you pick for David cup right now if we had the usual match in April?

Jamie and Joe? Luke and Jonny? Joe or jamie and luke or Jonny? Dom or Neal?

Super from Luke & Rajeev and yes very clear 3rd in the race

Krajicek & Sitak, currently on a live 505 points, would add another 200 points if they win the Acapulco final, taking them ahead of Jamie & Bruno and possibly Luke & Johnny.

Bambridge &, O'Mara : 615 or 715 points
Murray & Soares : 610

Krajicek & Sitak : 505 or 705

JonH · All-time great

Didn't spot krajicek and sitak there but fancy zverev will beat them. Sasha will be up for it.

Terrific stuff from Joe and Rajeev. This is really exciting times for GB doubles at the moment with so many players making huge strides in the right direction.

Certainly great for the individuals involved such as Joe, Luke & Jonny and I think very good to see.

I know that many think to different degrees that there is too much emphasis on doubles in GB and overmuch priority / assistance given to our pro doublers compared to other countries.

But in these circumstances and how their careers have unfolded I think that there can be no doubt that they, like Jamie before them, have made very much the right choice for themselves in moving full time into doubles with the best hopefully yet to come.

More importantly Roger gets the win against another young pretender. 100 Tour titles. Amazing feat and if he plays next season then 109 Connors record is maybe in his head. Could certainly play another 2 years yet and maybe thats the aim. World number 4 again playing a sensible scheduled whilst the young guns are slogging away. Might see the top3 as it is again finish on top.

Still has a real shot of winning Wimbledon again this year which would be incredible

Joe up 2 places to a CH 21.

But he needs to keep pushing on just a bit since in doubles we currently have :

1 in the top 10
1 in the top 20
3 in the top 30
4 in the top 40
5 in the top 50
6 in the top 60
7 in the top 70
