Excellent - great week for Jake!

Jake is a very good doubles player. He's been concentrating on singles recently (not surprisingly)

David and Marcus raced to a 3-0 lead over the would be no1 seeds wink

Pressure telling on Harri (and Henry?) again? I know Marcus and David are all Brits v half Brits for H & H but I genuinely want H and H to win this one; not really ever been a massive Marcus fan (wasted talent IMO) and would love to see H and H get to number one. Past these next two weeks, they lose all their Wimbledon points and the chance may go forever!!

The British pair take the first set 6-2

Mmm. Personally, just because they are the all British pair, I don't feel I need to support them!

Come on Henry and Harri, pull this one around!

H and H seem to be in control of the second set, could be heading to a match tiebreak

Been a tough one this, H and H took it 10-6 though and just push on through. Play Julian and Lloyd in the semis

DF · Tennis legend

What a shame for the British pair. David would have been guaranteed a place in the iop 100 if they had won. He does not have an established
partner. He has a wilcard for Wimbledon doubles with JoMo.

They did well when you consider the gap in ranking.

As commented elsewhere, no idea why they wouldn't have put Marcus and David together at Wimbledon, makes no sense. David did play with JoMo in one of the earlier grass challengers, and lost round one - as did Marcus with Billy.

Hope they get a chance for one of the two wildcards at Eastbourne - H & H, Joe and Neal, Lloyd and Julian, Jamie and Rajeev are playing (Luke and Sander withdrawn) and there are two wildcards - maybe Billy/Marcus and JoMo/David will get them?

The mens doubles semi between J and L v H and H is on centre court tomorrow; the other semi is on court one, hope Jake is fit to play in it

I assume that David and Johannus, and Marcus and Billy entered together, in the same way that players on the alternate list entered together.

On the subject of Luke and Sander, I gather that Luke is awaiting results of tests to see if he's going to be fit to play Wimbledon or will be out for several weeks.
