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


Is anyone else watching Andy Murray match? Do the brown stripes on court one look poor, presumably it isnt affecting the bounce at all?

No!  I think you'll find that Cori Gauff's match against Magdalena Rybarikova yesterday was completed with the roof over Number One court closed.

There was one backhand cross court return off the Humbert serve in set 4 that was so Andy Murray. I didn't see any of Queens, so for me, it's just great to see him moving around unrestricted and, dare I say it, smiling on court.

I have to say the quality towards the end was v good, could be dangerous as they get to know each other better...

We have 6 men left now:

Andy, Joe, Ken, Jamie/Neal, Cam.
