All winnable. Arevalo did well in team tennis and us exho circuit, dont fear Rojer and Tecau. Jamie and Neal should be confident and others can all win. I'd take 4 out of 6 though, Dom and Qureshi probably to fall as one of them.

Jamie & Neal are 0 & 4 h2h against Dodig & Polasek. Including losing the 1st round at Wimbledon last year. Fresh off a great week hopefully nows the time to break that run.

Thanks Spaced let's hope so. Is that h2h record available on some stats site or from memory? I'm keen to find a doubles h2h results resource !

This is the site I use for h2hs JonH. I'd remembered the Wimbledon loss and losing in a semi final somewhere after, but hadn't realised it was quite as bad until I looked it up.

A bit of a bogey team for them it seems, tough draw for the 1st round but if they can get through that on the back of a great week then confidence will be sky high to go all the way.

Thanks that's an excellent resource!

Think we had all forgotten about this thread. I'm still not convinced we need separate singles and doubles threads though. Do we?

That much was becoming obvious! I'd argue yes for a Grand Slam or a home Challenger in which there are are more than the odd pair with Brit involvement. If the singles players go deeper into the tournament than the doubles pairs, or vice versa, the results of whichever is the more successful tend to "swamp" the other, which makes them more difficult to find.

I'm with SC on this one. For certain tournaments where there is a lot of GB involvement, it makes sense.

Indeed I'd forgotten too. I do think that it's a good idea and fairly normal forum practice for Slams ( and occasional other tournaments ) with a fair amount of British doubles interest.

Also stops Jaggy ( hope he is well ) coming out in a rash if he unexpectedly comes across too much doubles stuff

Yes, I prefer a doubles only thread for grand slams/big events with lots of doubles interest.
