Ok, sorry about the ad/deuce court thing. I have no idea which side is which!


Aucks serving.


15-0, great point, Andy running back and forth, can't get to the lob in time and so nets.


30-0, missed that, sorry.


40-0, ace out wide.


40-15, return winner from Jamie, gets the crowd excited.


game Eng. Jamie attempts a lovely little half-volley but hits it just wide (by about a cm) 3-2


Drew said that Aucks normally plays the ad court, so I guess that's why he's doing it. Which side is Jamie playing?

Jamie's playing ad court too !! So no clues yet as to which one will switch when they play in the AO

Attacking tactics for both teams....maybe it's the influence of Jamie as whenever I've seen Andy in DC doubles , he's always played 2 back for returning the 1st serve and 1 up, 1 back for the 2nd serve.

When I saw Jamie in Bratislava they played 1 up 1 back for both serves


I think you're probably right, at the DC Andy would have been the dominant partner, whereas with Jamie I expect he respects his brother's doubles knowledge a bit more. (that's total speculation on my part though!)


Jamie serving,


2nd serve. Andy runs back to change tactics. 15-0, a change of sides mid point for the Murray's does enough to make Greg net in the rally.


30-0.


2nd serve. 30-15, a backwards, high volley doesn't go in from Andy (if it had would've been the shot of the match!)


40-15, smash winner from Andy, past Greg again.


game. Andy once again changes sides after the serve and this time hits the legs of Aucks who can't get out the way!


3-3.

Greg's returning has really let him down in doubles in the past, he tends to push or chip his returns which he can get away with in singles but in doubles, the returns generally just float over with no pace and allow the guy at the net to cross and make an easy volley putaway.

Greg serving.


15-0


30-0


30-15


40-15


40-30


sorry had to do something so I heard the points but didn't see them


game Eng. Huge serve out wide from Greg, Jamie gets it back but tamely. He's way off court. So Andy runs to the right to cover the down the line, Aucks promtly sends it cross-court. 'aah' cries Andy as though Aucks was going to be nice!!


4-3.


As Drew said, Greg is obviously the weakest link in this match.

Great returning from Aucks in that game His cross-court backhand return was particularly effective in the matches I saw in Bratislava
