Slow going in Bangkok - Jamie isn't on the OOP for Tuesday so it's Wednesday for him and Andre.

[Jane]

Jamie and Andre due to play at noon tomorrow - 6.00am in UK. All the best of luck, guys:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::swingin:

[Jane]

Well done Jamie and Andre - they won 6-4.3-6, 10-7:clap::clap::clap:

[Sallydaisy]

Excellent news! Well done Jamie and Andre!!!
:cheer:

[hfwardhouse]

So pleased to see Judy's tweet earlier :cheer: :cheer:

[Jane]

Jamie and Andre on court at about 8.00am (UK) Thursday. Best of luck, guys:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

[JAMES4578]

So glad Jamie/Andre got through, certainly was a tough one!

[Sallydaisy]

Jamie/Andre are up on livescore now ... they had a break and were serving at *4-3 but have just been broken themselves so now it's 4-4 in the first set.

[Sallydaisy]

Sa/Udom held for 5-4. In the 10th game Jamie kicked off with an Ace but he and Andre were then broken again at death deuce 40 so t'others are up a set.

Come on Jamie!!!!!
:swingin:

... and Andre!
You need the points!!!

[Jane]

Woo - hoo leading 4-0 in the second set. Heading for the dreaded ctb

[Sallydaisy]

Oooh, that's better! Serving now at *4-1 and erm, *15-30.
Hang on to your serve guys!

[Sallydaisy]

Ugh! Broken, but they are still a break of serve up at 4-2 in the 2nd set.

[Sallydaisy]

Come on guys, don't let them break again.
MurSa serving at *4-3 after LuDoke held their serve (despite MurSa havng 3 bp's).
*0-15
*15-15
*15-30
*15-40
*30-40

4-4
:sad:

This is a repeat of the first set ........

[Jane]

Ooops - come on Jamie

[Sallydaisy]

After the change of ends they'll be serving to stay in the match at 4-6, 4-5.
Come on Jamie and Andre!

EDIT: They held for 5-5 so it's back on serve.

[Sallydaisy]

:sad:

Lu(TPE)/Udomchoke(THA) d Murray(GBR)/Sa(BRA) 6'4, 7'5.
Despite leading in both sets (and 4'0 up in the 2nd) the Asian pair found a way past them. Probably had the crowd on their side but even so I think Jamie/Andre were the more experienced doubles players.

[Jennan]

They lost. so disapointed

[patmoren]

3 out of 13 break points, not enough in a tight match.

[Jane]

Awww - so sorry guys.:sad: Better luck next time:thumbup:

[Sallydaisy]

Jamie is on the entry list for Tokyo to play doubles with Andy next week.
They have a title and 500 points to defend ...

[Alis]

I'm sure they will be very disappointed to have lost this one, especially when they had the lead in both sets.

[hfwardhouse]

That's so disappointing after beating the second seeds yesterday - what a shame :sad:

Interesting tweets from Brad Gilbert and Jamie Murray.


Brad Gilbert ‏@bgtennisnation (https://twitter.com/bgtennisnation) Not surprised at all that we had no break points and it went to a TB with Dr Ivo vs Missile Raonic
but what schoked me only 12 Aces so far ?



Jamie Murray ‏@jamie_murray (https://twitter.com/jamie_murray) @bgtennisnation (https://twitter.com/bgtennisnation) Sandpaper courts + dunlop fort extra duty balls = slowest week of the year. Gotta see it to believe it.
