Beijing [/URL][U]OOP link (http://www.atpworldtour.com/posting/2012/329/op.pdf)for 30/9/12

Just the 4 Final Qualifying matches.

Good news that Fleming/Hutchins have made it into the main doubles draw now.
:thumbup:

Singles and Doubles Draws added to first and second posts.

Looks like Nole has gone for the points and easy option - no one much to trouble him here. Maybe Andy should have done the same. Different kettle of fish in Tokyo?

Beijing OOP for Monday 1st October - link (http://www.atpworldtour.com/Scores/schedule.aspx?EventId=747)
This is a combined event so the OOP is lengthy.

Shock of the day is [4] Cilic losing to a Wild Card - Marius Copil of Romania, WR221.
The match stats are here (http://s15.postimage.org/uxljkjrvf/copil_cilic.jpg) ...

I think that means no Brit men in action;)
One L Robson first up on Court 4. What's 1.30pm in UK time? I think it's 6.30am?

Ooops - yes I meant British Men.
If Laura is due on court at 13.30 that'll be 06.30 UK time (Beijing is 7hrs ahead).

Beijing OOP here (http://www.atpworldtour.com/Scores/schedule.aspx?EventId=747).

Flemchins are due to play 2nd after a Bryan bros Doubles Match starting at 15.30 local time, so around 17.00hrs which is 10.00 UK. Methinks there'll be a lot of switching between livescores of Beijing and Tokyo if Andy is still on court at that time!!!

[Alis]

A good win for Flemchins - well done lads!

[Sallydaisy]

[2] Mirnyi/Nestor out to Berlocq/Istomin who won 1'6, 6'3, 12'10!!!
4th loss in a row for Danny/Max ...
I know Danny has a new partner lined up for 2013 but it's a shame these 2 are on a losing streak.

[Sallydaisy]

Flemchins have a late match tomorrow. Approx 21.30 local, 14.30 UK time.
They follow Djokovic v Melzer which could be anything from an hour to 3hrs!!!
It's a televised court but we'll be lucky if they leave the cameras rolling ...


Colin Fleming ‏@colin_fleming (https://twitter.com/colin_fleming) Could have stayed on UK time for our match 2mo...2nd after 730pm local time! Up against @Wimbledon (https://twitter.com/Wimbledon) finalists Lindstedt/Tecau. #BeijingOpen (https://twitter.com/search/?q=%23BeijingOpen&src=hash)

It was pretty close, not like it was a drubbing but I think Danny's lost his mojo. He seemed quite despondent at Davis Cup.

Chris ‏@lankster2003 HUUUUUUUUUUGEEEEEEE win for @colin_fleming (http://www.andymurrayfanforum.com/colin_fleming) and @RoscoHutchins (http://www.andymurrayfanforum.com/RoscoHutchins). 10-5 in the match tie break #soproud (http://www.andymurrayfanforum.com/search/?q=%23soproud&src=hash) #massivewin (http://www.andymurrayfanforum.com/search/?q=%23massivewin&src=hash)

Nole wins his 3rd Beijing title - and 32nd tour title - beating JWT 7-6 6-2

Tie break sounded a bit of a comedy of errors. Nole tried to hand it to Jo, but then Jo returned the favour - or something like that.

Bryan bros beat Berloq/ Istomin in straight sets to win their 1,000th mens doubles tour title (can't remember how many they've won now!) - 6-3 6-2

A pity Tsonga faded somewhat after that tight first set as Nole wasn't all imperious, but certainly another good week for Djokovic. The Bryans certainly racking up the titles, but didn't think they would really be challenged in this match.
