A minor point, but I think Joe & Neal are the 6th seeds not 7th SC.

So they are!    All my own posts now corrected.  I know my eyesight's not the best (I'm told that I have cataracts forming), but I don't understand how I could mistake a "6" for a "7"!  cry

My cataracts have formed so I can use that as an excuse for my very occasional slight errors. I am on a longgg waiting list to get sorted. NHS Scotland will get back to me sometime.

Sorry to hear that, Indy.  If it's any consolation, when I was discharged from the Whittington 3˝ years ago, I was referred to the Royal Free for a consultation with a view to a nephrectomy &, in the words of a certain song, I'm still waiting...  disbelief

All 4 Slam finals this year have involved a British player.

As well as the FO final, Id forgotten Neal and Joe lost to G and Z at Wimbledon in the last 8.

FO was 7-5 3rd set, W was two tie breaks. Feels like it will be close.

Also, looking at the records this season for the top pairs in slams:

Julian and Lloyd are 11-3 for the year.
Henry and Harri are 12-3
Julian (aka Joe sometimes) and Neal are 14-3 with tomorrows final to play
Granollers and Zeballos are 15-1 with the final to come ( didnt play the AO)
Arevalo and Pavic are 10-4

G and Z or Julian (some know him as Joe) and Neal with the title tomorrow are probably the top pair in slams this year.

Just watched the highlights of the semis - Neal and Joe just stuck in, turned it around and outplayed the opponents in that third set. They look really relaxed together, 5th final of the yea r - good time to bring it home!

The Latin pairing feel like the most like to break at this early stage. Cant watch - in a shopping centre in Leeds, haha- but feels like Neal and Joe have had a harder time on serve based on scores?

Glad I was wrong / Neal and Joe serving for set.

Granollers got the wobbles with two doubles in the previous game. Neal nerves of steel.
