I thought they said that yesterday's march was the first FULL match to be completed under the roof.

I must admit, the sound under the roof is nowhere near as bad as it sounds on the TV - far less echo. Must be the multiple microphones making it sound worse.

 Except I thought they played all of Donna's match under it first?

 All of these and Cotrer gets bonus points from me for having a nice Scottish accent. 

Also enjoyed Andy Roddick when they had him on the Beeb a few years ago, he was excellent and Hewitt is also very good. Is Clijsters a comms or pundit?  Andy was good last year when he did it and Laura. 

Dislike - Castle, Lloyd, Invers, Bartoli, Becker.

 No, they closed the roof with the score at 5-5 in the third set, and after the restart Riske promptly won the two games needed

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.

At least we still have pretty good quality there while losing the bulk of our assorted WCs.

Since they returned, the opponents have held to 0, 0, 40, 15, 15, 15, 0, 0, whereas on the 5 times Murray / Skupski have managed to hold, 3 have been to 40.

The opponents have just held to 15 to win the match. That's quite a turnaround from yesterday.

 What happened today? Yesterday they looked the dominant pair, today they were trounced in those two sets.

I was mainly following the scores in the background, hoping it would go deep to delay the next match on that court starting, so can't comment on the tennis, but it certainly looks a dominant couple of sets for the opposition. Would be interested if anyone caught it.

Ronald McIntosh is by far the worst tennis commentator I have heard

His performances do seem to be on the wane yes. Wonder what Neal S makes of it. 

Also why I thought it was premature of Andy to talk about possibly playing Davis Cup doubles with Jamie... since if i was to pick the top two current Brit men's doubles players, I'm not sure Jamie would be on that list, despite him still being the highest ranked player. 

Nevertheless, yesterday evening he and Neal were cruising...
