Weeks 27 & 28 - The Championships, Wimbledon (grass) - doubles

When they were playing doubles at Queens and showing it because Andy was playing, it was very noticeable that the commentators were having to explain the No Ad scoring system. This I took to be a very poor reflection on the amount of air time doubles gets on TV outside Wimbledon.

To be honest not all of the commentators appeared comfortable with the no-ad system themselves; they kept losing track of the number of break/ game/ set points anyone had at any given time.

So Joe and Rajeev have got an early lead in their opener, Dom + versus Cam + surprisingly going the way of Cam and Munar at the moment, break up in 3rd 1 set all. That would be quite a shock I think if Dom doesnt win that one.

Huge match going on in the Cam+ vs Dom+ match.

Cam+ 2-1 up in sets but then Dom+ win the 4th in a TB 13-11. Not sure how many MPs they saved but we are now into a 5th set.

Ooh weren't Norrie and Munar serving for it? Seems like a right humdinger

Great win for Cam & Jaume.  Could've been 6-4 in the fourth set & they also had a healthy lead in the tie-break!

Good for Cam but it will be very disappointing for Dom, defending SF points, partnering Franko Skugor last year, and with recent good results with Krajicek.

 Dom called heads. It was tails....

Cam a rare doubles player beats a full time top player.

 1 GB vs GB as well... But also, who was actually "ranked"  to win? Not many/any that lost so...
