RE: ATP Doha 2007.

Unfortunately, the Doha live scoreboard packed up very quickly this morning

Tricky opener for Jamie Baker, Dolgopolov was the promising young Ukrainian who took on Andy Murray in the Davis Cup. Very flamboyant player, can hit some massive winners and has lovely touch but he mixes in spectacular stuff with some very daft errors. He likes the drop shot a lot.

He's currently ranked 265, enjoyed a really strong end to the 2006 season. Reached the semis of Dnepropetrovsk, beating Koubek and Volandri in straights He also won 5 futures on clay and qualified for ATP Bucharest. Hopefully all the training Jamie's done with Andy Murray will pay off here, I'm hoping he'll have too much consistency for Dolgopolov.

Jamie Murray will have had an easier task against fellow doubles specialist Jaroslav Levinsky. Levinsky is unranked in singles but ranked 27 in doubles. He was a top 250 singles player back in 2002. Doubles-wise, he made 5 ATP finals in 2006.

well the second matches on courts 1 and 2 (or whatever they're called) have very nearly finished so Jamie and Jamie must have finished, but I can't find their results anywhere. (I'll admit I've only trawled a few websites)


Anyone got any clues?

I have failed to find any info too.

I said before that the Doha site looked better than last year (when it was dire), but it seems looks deceive. Clicking on live scores gets nothing. Clicking on the draws gets last year's draws, even though I was clicking from a page that clearly says 2007!

Yeah, that's all I could get as well. I even tried the OOP - last year's final was up (clearly just scanned in from a paper copy too!)


Oh well. I'm sure we'll hear eventually!

On MTF it says Murray plays Volandri round 1 which is a great draw IMO for Muzza.

Brilliant result for the fabulous Baker boy and it is really good to see Jamie Murray play singles qualies and win.


Jamie B should get some good advice from Andy on beating Bastl, I think he has a decent chance there.

Super results from both of them. I wasn't expecting them to win if I'm completely honest, soo glad to be wrong!


Now, beat the seeds (whoever they are) up next please boys.


Good draw for Andy, which you'd hope with him as the fourth seed. I hope he reaches the semis at least as a rematch against Davydenko would be good. I guess we'll just have to see what kind of form everyone's on in the new season.

You just beat me to it Arka!


The Murray bros play Baghdatis/Wawrinka in round 1 with a possible match-up with world number 2s Bjorkman/Mirnyi in the semis. Good luck guys!

Congrats to the fabulous Baker Boy!


Go JM!


Baghdatis/Wawrinka is a tough doubles draw though!


I'd back Baker to beat Bastl. Not sure about Cakl as I know nothing about him!
