15 sets of 26 normal scoring sets now are tie breaks. Guarantee to end at higher than 50 percent.

Monies worth for those crowds packing the o2....

I hadnt realised top 10 ranked doubles players get to select partners at Tokyo olympics.

Assuming it happens. Who would Joe pick? Andy? Neal? Not jamie I presume, their styles dont fit for me. Dan?

2-0 30-0 up but lose 2nd set 3-6. Had 2 break points in last game (ridiculous dig by ERV in 1st one).

It's not as simple as a top 10 get to pick their partner. They are guaranteed a spot but the federation pick the pairs (probably with consultation with the players). It's not like Joe can have first pick of partner and that's that.

Nooooo! Cant believe that, 7-1 up?!

wolf · Tennis legend

7-1 up but it has to be said they didn't do a lot wrong. Just too good from the others.

Julia Carrot · All-time great

That was heartbreaking

It was, so disappointed for them. And a match point as well. Hope they regroup for 2021.

Ok, makes sense. But no doubt he gets a big say as hes the person guaranteed a spot?

Joe has also fallen to 12th in latest live rankings, so going to have to work for top 10 again, partic with Aus Open being an event he cant add points in
