[-J-]

When is the doubles for wimbledon being doneDONE http://www.wimbledon.com/en_GB/scores/draws/md/index.html

[Joyce]

Pleased that Stretch & Booty are playing together again.
Go, Lads!1

[JAMES4578]

yes, hopefully Stetch and Booty can get a run going!

[Alis]

I really hope they stick with it even if they go out early - a regular partner is certainly what Jamie needs.

[patmoren]

Jamie and Booty the only mens singles being played on Monday. Haven't got a court yet. I wonder if Centre Court gets a move on they might get on there!

[JAMES4578]

Surprising they're scheduled to play on the opening day,hopefully they'll be on a televised court!

[jaysee]

Yeesssss! Stretch & Booty take a second tie-break to lead 7-6 7-6. One more set, boys!:yahoo:

[JAMES4578]

Match suspended at 2 all in the 3rd but the guys in a good position though tights sets of course!

[supergran]

Good result so far...Come on boys, one more to go!!:clap::thumbup:

[Sallydaisy]

Yeesssss! Stretch & Booty take a second tie-break to lead 7-6 7-6. One more set, boys!:yahoo:
Watched them for a short while yesterday before I headed home as I was very tired and there were no seats. I really hope they can get through to the next round.

Go for it Booty and Stretch!!!

[rondun]

Boys are back on court 11.
Lost the 3rd 6-4 :( Now 2 all in the 4th

[Jane]

[Jane]

Wey - hey Jamie and Eric have won the match in 4 sets - well done guys:yahoo::yahoo::yahoo::cheer::cheer::cheer:

[Jan]

[RFS]

good start for Jamie...

[Sallydaisy]

Wey - hey Jamie and Eric have won the match in 4 sets - well done guys:yahoo::yahoo::yahoo::cheer::cheer::cheer:

Fantastic news!!!
:clap:

[david1610]

Well done!

[supergran]

Fantastic effort...well done!!:cheer::cheer:

[JAMES4578]

Yes a good win, well done!

[Alis]

Great stuff! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that a good run here might encourage them to stay together.

[Sallydaisy]

Very sad that Dom Inglot and partner Treat Huey have lost their doubles match.
:crying:
It was very, very tight and they had chances to take it in the 4th set.

However, the vastly experienced Israelis clung on and have just won it 9'7 in the 5th.
6-4, 3-6, 6-2, 6-7(6-8), 7-9

[Jan]

yes - so close

[Sallydaisy]

:yahoo::yahoo::yahoo:

Delgado and Skupski have won their R1 match 6'3, 5'7, 6'3, 6'4 against Bachinger/Kamke!
Very good win for them!

[Alis]

Great news - well done them!

[Jan]

well done Delski!:cheer:

[supergran]

More good news!! Well done.:cheer:

[Jan]

Noooooo just seen that Flemchins lost in 5 to Kukushkin and Rosol. So disappointed for them :crying:

[Sallydaisy]

It's true!
:wimcry:

Flemchins defeated in five sets by Rosol/Kukushkin 3-6, 4-6, 6-2 7-6(5), 6-3

[Linda]

:crying:

[supergran]

So sad and disappointed for them...5 sets!!:sad::crying:

[DaveArneRiise]

After being up 2 sets to love too!

[jaysee]

Another loss I'm afraid after a good start.:wimcry:
Liam & Oli go down 6-7 6-4 3-6 4-6 to Gonzalez & Kas

[hfwardhouse]

:wimcry: :wimcry:

[rondun]

Wow - Hewitt & Guccione just beat the 6th seeds Peya & Zimonjic!

[DaveArneRiise]

Hewitt is a excellent doubles player. I believe he has won the Wimbledon doubles before years ago, was either Wimbly or US can't remember.

[DaveArneRiise]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Marray and Robson just won their mixed doubles R1 match in straight sets.

[JAMES4578]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Marray and Robson just won their mixed doubles R1 match in straight sets.

Inglot and Laura took it it 7-6, 6-4, well done!

[Jan]

it was Dom Inglot and Laura - they beat Lipsky and Grandin.
Marray played with Anne and they lost.

[DaveArneRiise]

Thanks guys, well done Laura and Dom.

Could anyone list all the remaining brits still left in the doubles including mixed?

Delgadski
Stretch & Booty
Laura & Dom

That's off top of my head...

[Jan]

Mixed:
Jamie Murray & Paula Suárez
Colin Fleming & Su-Wei Hsie
Ken Skupski & Mel South
Ross Hutchins & Heather Watson

Men's:
Jonny Marray & Freddie Nielsen

(I think!)

[DaveArneRiise]

Thanks Jan yes Marray and Nielsen I saw on LS they pulled off a stunning win over Grannollers and M.Lopez!

[Jane]

Best of luck today to Jamie and Eric:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::)

[Jane]

Jamie and Eric's match is to be shown live on the red button. The covers have just come off, so it shouldn't be too long before play starts.


Oh no - raining again and covers being put back on

[Jane]

Warming up now - come on guys

[jaysee]

Great to be able to watch doubles! :wimbly:

[Jane]

Oops - lost the first set 3-6:sad:

[Sallydaisy]

I'm at my desk so have dubs on desktop and Court 1 on laptop.
Going cross-eyed!
:lol:

I rather think Clement/Llodra are going for this - it's Clement's last Wimbledon.

[Jane]

Lost second set 5-7

[Jane]

:sad::sad:Third set gone too:sad::sad:

[Linda]

Mirnyi & Nestor are out too.

[rondun]

I'm at my desk so have dubs on desktop and Court 1 on laptop.
Going cross-eyed!
:lol:It gets confusing watching singles and dubs at the same time!
I struggle to listen to the guy commentating on Jamie's match.

[Jan]

shame Booty and Stretch lost, but hope they continue to play together.

[Alis]

Me too!

[RoastLamb]

Daniel and Max have lost in the second round third time in a row. The ONE time I picked them to win too! :grrr: :grrr: :grrr:

[JAMES4578]

Pity Booty and Stretch went down in straights but up against quality and they've just starrted playing again, hopefully a few more tournrys together. Most surprised Danny and Max are out!

[Alis]

Really hope they stick together - it's just what Jamie needs.

[DaveArneRiise]

Fleming and Hsieh are up 4-2 in deciding set of their R1 doubles match!

[Alis]

Hutchins and Watson went through.

[Joyce]

Thought Jamie was playing in the Mixed Dubs aswell as the Mens Dubs??:confused:

[Jane]

Thought Jamie was playing in the Mixed Dubs aswell as the Mens Dubs??:confused:

So did I - I'm sure I saw his name in the draw along with a South American partner:confused:

[RFS]

You did, so did I - maybe she had to pull out?

[Jan]

yes I was wondering the same thing.

[supergran]

So does anyone know what's happened? I read the same thing.

[hfwardhouse]

No idea - I did ask Jamie on twitter yesterday but he didn't reply - I suspect one of them has had to pull out cos they've been replaced by another pair :(

[JAMES4578]

Looks like it, such a pity Jamie won't be in the mixed!

[DaveArneRiise]

Robson and Inglot beat Melzer and Benesova in 3 sets! :cheer:

[JAMES4578]

Robson and Inglot beat Melzer and Benesova in 3 sets! :cheer:

Yes posted in other thread, that was great result!

[RFS]

No idea - I did ask Jamie on twitter yesterday but he didn't reply - I suspect one of them has had to pull out cos they've been replaced by another pair :(
A friend said he saw on the web somewhere (maybe on the Record) that they withdrew but the Referree's Office have declined to give a reason. Which seems a little strange. I had nothing in the Referree's office emails I get at the moment.

[DaveArneRiise]

Did Robson and Hutchins win?

Marray/Nielsen up 2 sets over Qureshi/Rojer :yahoo:

[Jan]

Robson and Inglot are through to the 3rd round. I don't think they're on the OOP for today.
Hutchins and Watson lost in the 2nd round.

[DaveArneRiise]

Fleming and Hsieh I meant? Weren't they up a break in the final set against Sa and someone?

[Jan]

ah right - yes they beat Sa and Rodionova.

[Jan]

Marray and Nielsen have just beaten the 8th seeds Quereshi and Rojer, 7-5 in the 5th!! Brilliant!!
:cheer::cheer::cheer:

[RoastLamb]

Watched a bit of that. So cool!

[JAMES4578]

Brilliant, well done!

[DaveArneRiise]

Excellent win for Marray and Nielsen :yahoo:

[Jan]

Fleming and Hsieh have just started their match against Qureshi and Hlavackova

[supergran]

Well done Marray and Nielsen!!:cheer::cheer:

[DaveArneRiise]

Marray and Nielsen are 2 sets up in the QF match versus Cerretani/Roger-Vasselin!

[cazza99]

Steven ‏@GBtennis

That makes @JonnyMarray the 1st Brit to make the men's doubles SFs since Mark Cox (w/Colin Drysdale) 35 yrs ago! (& will make him top 40-50)

[JAMES4578]

Yes Marray/Neilsen through in 5, great effort! Could be the Bryans next though.

[Sallydaisy]

That's a brilliant win for Jonny Marray and partner - especially since he's not our ranked Brit

[cazza99]

Steven ‏@GBtennis

Oddly enough, back in 1977 Cox/Drysdale also won their QF 62 in the 5th having been 2 sets up & with the 1st 3 going long! (86 98 79 46 62)

[Jan]

Just stunning from them!!!

[DaveArneRiise]

Two matches in a row they have the first two sets, lost the next 2 but when the decider. I'm sure they would take that same outcome against the Bryans ;)

[DaveArneRiise]

Skupski and South put up an impressive display against Zimonjic and Srebotnik before losing 9-7 in the decider.

[Jan]

Fleming and Hsieh play Dom and Laura tomoroow. Don't know who to cheer for!

[Helen40]

Fleming and Hsieh play Dom and Laura tomoroow. Don't know who to cheer for!

Tough one, I like Fleming, but I've recently become and Inglot fan too. Ah well, go the Brits!

[DaveArneRiise]

Fleming and Hsieh play Dom and Laura tomoroow. Don't know who to cheer for!

At least guaranteed to have at least one Brit in the semi finals! :yahoo:

[Sallydaisy]

How nice to see DOUBLES on the TV - and MIXED at that.

Centre Court: Fleming/Hsieh lead Inglot/Robson 5-4 and with serve.

[RoastLamb]

Does anyone have a link. I can't find one. :sad:

[Sallydaisy]

I don't have one at present RL 'cos I'm watching it on the BBC.
But there must be one out there.

No breaks of serve at all; Hsieh serving at *5-5.

[RoastLamb]

It's OK, I found one. :phew:

[Sallydaisy]

Wow!!! Laura Ace'd Colin Fleming with a 110mph serve!
That's good going from our 18r old.

1st set went to Fleming/Hsieh 7'6.
2nd set is going with serve and 2-1 to Inglot/Robson with Hsieh to serve next.

[JAMES4578]

Yes well done Laura! Enjoying the match, not much in it thus far.

[Jan]

Well done to Colin and Hsieh! What a lovely match to watch. Great to see Laura and Dom playing together.

[Alis]

Where has Inglot been? I wonder why he's never paired up with Jamie.

[Alis]

It really annoys me that the Williams sisters come onto court, have their warm-up and then go straight back off again - I've seen Serena do it quite often in singles matches too. Pure gamesmanship and very disrespectful to their opponents. Shouldn't be allowed!

[JAMES4578]

Well done Colin/Hsieh and entertaining match, pity about the doubles from Inglot and Laura in 2nd tb though.

[RoastLamb]

I don't understand, why do they go off? How are they even allowed to do that?

[Jan]

I missed that.

[jeannie13]

Anyone know where Jamie is---I've not seen him in Andy's box:confused:

[Sallydaisy]

Anyone know where Jamie is---I've not seen him in Andy's box:confused:
He rarely sits there to watch Andy's matches; gets too nervous.
He'll be cheering Andy on though!

[traveller7]

I am sure if what we want to happen happens he will be there cheering him on!

[Jan]

Marray and Nielsen are playing their semi against the Bryans

[RoastLamb]

Watching. They've taken the first set!!! :shocked:

[Sallydaisy]

2-2 on serve in the 2nd set; Marray/Nielsen to serve and held for 3-2.

[RoastLamb]

Ooh TWO SETS TO LOVE!!! :yahoo:

[Sallydaisy]

They played an incredible tie-breaker!!!!!
Lead 6'4, 7'6(9) ...

I've got them on my laptop whilst watching Andy on TV; need something to help keep calm!
Come on Jonny and Freddie!!!
:swingin:

[Jan]

amazing!! Trying to watch this and Andy!!

[cazza99]

Marray and Neilson have won the first 2 sets against the Bryan bros :clap: :clap:

[RoastLamb]

Yes I have one eye on Andy on the telly and t'other on the computer.

[Sallydaisy]

5-5 in the 3rd set, Bryans serving now and hold for 6-5.
Puts pressure on JonFred to hold each time they come out but they're doing it so far.

Could be into another tie-breaker for this.

[JAMES4578]

They're doing really well,serving to stay in the 3rd at 5 -6.

[RoastLamb]

Yes, they really are doing well. Just keep focused!

[Sallydaisy]

Love hold from Jonny Marray.
6-6 and it's a TB for the 3rd set.

Come on Jonny and Freddie!!!

[RoastLamb]

Oh no my livestreams have frozen - all of them!!!!!!!! No!

[Sallydaisy]

MB to the Bryans, serving at *4-3 after Jonny drops a point on his serve.
:sad:

[Jan]

Bryans get the tb. Never count them out, but Marray and Nielsen doing so well :strawberry:

[Sallydaisy]

The Bryans take the 3rd set on the TB.
Can they come back from 2 sets down for the 2nd day in a row to win this!

Hope Jonny and Freddie don't give up - they're playing incredibly well.

[RoastLamb]

Still can't get a ls. Bummer. In any match.

[RoastLamb]

So the commies said this is the first time since 1960 we've had a Brit man in the final. :shocked:

[JAMES4578]

Marray and Neilsen win, awesome!:cheer::cheer::cheer:

[RoastLamb]

Is Marray Scottish?

[Jan]

So the commies said this is the first time since 1960 we've had a Brit man in the final. :shocked:
in men's doubles maybe

[RoastLamb]

in men's doubles maybe

Yes, in doubles. Marray is from Sheffield not Scotland. Fleming's still in the mixed though.

[-J-]

Is Marray Scottish?scouser

[Jan]

Colin Fleming and Hsieh playing their QF 5-4* first set

[RoastLamb]

Yes I'm watching that on a very bad stream. But they're holding their own.

[Jan]

they lost the first set tb

[Sallydaisy]

Zimbotnik took the first set on a tie-break 7'6(3).

[traveller7]

Would be great if they get through too!

[Jan]

Marray and Nielsen will play Lindstedt and Tecau in the final - presumably once the ladies final is over.

[Jan]

Colin and Hsieh lost 6-7 3-6

[JAMES4578]

A pity but still a good run for Colin and Hsieh!

[Sallydaisy]

Jonny Marray and Frederick Nielsen play their Doubles Final today on Centre court after the Ladies Final.

From an item in the Independent today (http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/tennis/marray-ends-52year-wait--and-celebrates-with-tea-7920726.html):

"Marray ends 52-year wait and celebrates with tea"


As droughts go this one had lasted only the 52 years. Jonny Marray yesterday became the first Briton to make the men's double final since 1960 after he and his Danish partner, Freddie Nielsen, stunned the defending champions Mike and Bob Bryan.
The last Britons in the final were Bobby Wilson and Mike Davies while the last British success came in 1936, the same year Fred Perry won his last singles title.
"Marray, described as the last serve-and-volleyer left in tennis by his partner, spent his £75 winner's gift voucher on a tea set. "He likes tea," said Nielsen."

[Jan]

So pleased for Jonny - all the best to him and Freddie for the final!!

[RoastLamb]

Waiting for the men's final to begin and watching the mixed dubs semi with my favourite, Leander Paes.

[JAMES4578]

Marry/Neilsen lose first with 1 break, let's hope they can fight back in the 2nd.

[RoastLamb]

Our guys win the second set! :yahoo:

Leander Paes and Vesnina win the mixed semis just now (:yahoo:) and are through to the final against one of the Bryans and Lisa Raymond.

[JAMES4578]

Danger moment but Marray/Neilsen up 5-4 in 3rd after saving bp.

[cazza99]

:sofa:

[JAMES4578]

Marray/Neilsen take 3rd set breaker 7-5, marvellous! However, the rain has come and play is suspended.

[rondun]

Great sportsmanship from Marray too when he touched the net - doubt you'd see that from Lindstedt

[RoastLamb]

Good stuff!!! Stupid rain though. Nice to be able to watch dubs on HD TV.

[Lizzim]

Really want Marray and Nielsen to take this match....Lindstedt is such a grump.....! And people think that Andy is miserable....

[Jan]

doing so well - hope they can keep going!

[Helen40]

1-1

40-40
van Lin
1-2 :-(

[rondun]

Lindstedt is such a grump.....Always has been.
It's a shame, he was never like that on Red Dwarf or Scrapheap Challenge.

[hfwardhouse]

:lol: I can see the resemblance too :rolling:

[RoastLamb]

Scrapheap Challenge sounds intriguing.

[rondun]

Scrapheap Challenge sounds intriguing.Kinda like men's invitational doubles!

[Jan]

4th set tb
come on lads!!!!

[JAMES4578]

Come on guys, take it here!

[cazza99]

Come on guys :cheer:

[KnightOwl]

Very tense tie-break...!

[Jan]

argh 2 sets all

[RoastLamb]

Wow! That just sucks. :sad:

[JAMES4578]

What a pity as Jonny/Freddy so close there but some great returns from Lindstedt/Tecau. Hopefully they can step up again! They get early break for 2-0 , come on!

[Jan]

come on!!

[RoastLamb]

:excited: 3-0 lead in the fifth.

[RoastLamb]

The only other time I've ever seen Freddie play was earlier this year at the Hopman Cup when he played with Caro Woz. I thought he was pretty good then! This is an amazing story only because of their rankings and the fact they've only recently paired up.

5-2 up. This has got to be one of the most exciting dubs matches I've ever seen. Jamie winning a few years ago was one.

[cazza99]

Come on guys :mexican:

[JAMES4578]

Now 5-2 and only 1 game away!

[KnightOwl]

This is just brilliant :big grin:

Edit: hmmmm...pretty solid serving from "Kryten"....

[RoastLamb]

Here we go. CRUNCH TIME!

[rondun]

This is an amazing story only because of their rankings and the fact they've only recently paired up."Court of dreams..."

[hfwardhouse]

Oh how wonderful - I'm totally overwhelmed by this!!! Way to go Jonny & Freddie!

:trophy: :trophy: :trophy:

[cazza99]

:yahoo: :yahoo::yahoo: :yahoo::yahoo: :yahoo::yahoo: :yahoo::yahoo: :yahoo::yahoo: :yahoo:

[RoastLamb]

This is simply SUBLIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

[KnightOwl]

Wooohooo!

[harriet]

so, a brit is a wimbledon champion! let's hope another one comes along to join him,or it'll be a case of 'careful what you wish for'

[JAMES4578]

Awesome and fantastic, well done Jonny and Freddie! what a win, so happy for them!:cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer:

[VamosVixs]

:yahoo::yahoo::yahoo:

[RoastLamb]

They don't get to make speeches. Too bad. Would have loved to hear it.

And the girls' champ gets her trophy.

What an awesome day for UK and Canada (and Denmark).

[Lizzim]

They are being interviewed on the BBC RL - maybe you will see it later?

[Helen40]

Cool, and they're showing the ladies too. :)

[Lizzim]

Wow that was amazing! Is that true that they qualify for the o2?

I think there is some rule that allows a grand slam champion a place even if not in the top 8....but I am sure someone will check.

[cazza99]

Alexandra Willis ‏@alex_willis

Marray/Nielsen may not be able to play together on a regular basis, Freddie still playing singles, but they do qualify for the ATP WTFs

[dewster99]

hoping this means the stars are aligning. Marray is only 1 letter different from Murray

[Alis]

Wow! I had to go out at one set all and I've just got back. What fantastic news! :yahoo:

Thought they had to be ranked inside top 20 as well?
Guess they will be anyway

Am absolutely delighted for Jonny Marray (and Freddie Nielsen) !!!!!

This is just an incredible story. For a WC pairing that have not played together for long to win one of the biggest prizes is amazing. I hope this is a good omen for Andy too and i think it may take some pressure off him as Marray will surely get considerable attention for this.

Well done Marray & Nielsen. Just stunning, absolutely stunning. :yahoo:
