That's a shame, do you know why there's no qualifying? Are there wildcards or none of those either?


No idea why it's just Wimbledon who have doubles qualifying, the other slams definately have the facilities to do it. Maybe it's something to do with the fact that the other slams don't have such a high regard for doubles - the doubles matches are only best of 3 sets while at Wimbledon they're best of 5.

There are doubles wildcards but they only go to Americans and Mark Phillippousis

do the slams (apart from Wimbledon) go the full three sets or have the match tiebreak?


It's a shame that they don't care as much about doubles as Wimbledon does, i really enjoy watching doubles it's always fast and fun.

The other slams go the full 3 sets. It's a real shame there are no doubles qualies as this year I reckon quite a lot of Brits would have got through, we've got so many quality pairs in the top 200 at the moment.
