Huey & Inglot beat Russell & Young 7-5 6-2

Excellent news!!! Hope the other 2 Brits can win today as well.
I need to do a doubles RG thread methinks.
:p

[Sallydaisy]

Cheering thread for the British doubles garcons in Paris this week.

[Jane]

Best of luck to Jamie and Carsten:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbu p::)

[Sallydaisy]

I just saw the match on livescore and it looked as though Jamball had lost the first set 4'6 but when I refreshed the page the match had disappeared.
Anyone know what happened???
:confused:

:confused:

I'm going mad - official. Tongue-in-cheek natch.
:p

So, the match is on Slamtracker and only just started so that's why it wasn't on livescores 'cos there's a time delay on that starting.

Jamball serving first and hold to 15 for 1-0.
They dropped serve in game 3. Sodalu serving at *2-1.

[DaveArneRiise]

Brown and Murray lost in straight sets to Cabal and Farah

[Sallydaisy]

Brown and Murray lost in straight sets to Cabal and Farah
That'd be Brown and Marray - Murray is still out on court with Carsten Ball trying to win against Lu/Soeda.

[DaveArneRiise]

Yep excuse the typo.

[Sallydaisy]

So, 1 set apiece and into a 3rd.
Lu/Soeda serving first 7'6(5), 4'6.

[Sallydaisy]

Lu and Soeda win 7'6(5), 4'6, 6'3 so fairly close but Jamie and Carsten couldn't capitaliseon winning the 2nd set.

[Linda]

So Inglot is the only Brit still in the dubs.

[Jan]

hmm. What a shame Flemchins are still getting over their injuries.

[KnightOwl]

Disappointing in the rest of the doubles - having four Brits playing today, I really hoped we'd get a few more through :sad:

[david1610]

And with the Olympics coming up....

[JAMES4578]

Certainly a disappointing day. Gutted for Jamie particularly, a good effort but in the end to no avail.

[xenon21]

GUtted for Jamie! Hard being a relatively new partnership with Ball

[Sallydaisy]

Woo Hoo!!!
:yahoo:

Dominic Inglot (GBR) and Treat Huey have just knocked out the 5th seeds Lindstedt/Tecau in straights with a 6'3, 6'4 win that'll take them into R3. They'll play the winners of Phau/Shamasdin v [10] Qureshi/Rojer.

[Alis]

Well done to them!

[Jan]

that's really great - well done to them! :cheer:

[RoastLamb]

I see Serena and Bob went out in the first round of mixed dubs. :shocked:

[Linda]

I hadn't even noticed that she was playing dubs. Oh well, the Williams family can all decamp to London now. (NB I think she must be either ill or injured from her performance in the singles.)

[RoastLamb]

Or just shell shocked.
