The mens doubles event starts today but the Murrays aren't on the OOP. So that'll likely mean a R1 doubles match for them tomorrow - and a R1 singles match for Andy on Sunday.

[david1610]

As I posted on the Indian Wells main thread (did not see this) Andy and Jamie third on court 7 tomorrow after a ladies singles and a men's doubles.
They are playing Lindstedt and Zimonjic.

[lynne]

Tomorrows OOP....http://www.bnpparibasopen.com/Schedules/Live-OOP.aspx

Andy & Jamie are 3rd on court 7 at (roughly) 11pm(UK)


The Very Best of Luck Andy & Jamie!!!:thumbup::thumbup:

Best of luck to Andy and Jamie. :yahoo:

[david1610]

The ladies singles has finished.... just a men's doubles Feliciano Lopez (ESP)/Milos Raonic (CAN) vs (3)Mahesh Bhupathi (IND)/Daniel Nestor (CAN)
then time for Andy and Jamie.
Wonder who the Canadians are supporting in that match? ;)

[david1610]

[JAMES4578]

Good start with a double break at 3-0, keep it going!

[david1610]

Enjoying watching Isner and Hewitt on Tennis Channel. Hewitt 5-3 up in the third.
0-30 30-30 then 40-40 (livescore jumped). C'mon guys!
They have broken! 3-2

[Linda]

The Murrays win! :cheer: I bet Zim looks grim (I remember his expression when beaten in the final twice by Rafa & Marc)

[banskogirl]

Oh brill win Andy and Jamie :)

[david1610]

Especially good for Jamie as his ranking is down to 80 and Andy in terms of being involved in a competitive match the day before he plays his first singles match!

[Bardot]

Well done the Murray brothers and as we know Andy gets more personal enjoyment out of winning with Jamie than he does playing singles especially on an outside court with it's heightened atmosphere.


Tennis Panorama News ‏@TennisNewsTPN
Murray/Murray win the super tie break and the crowd goes wild. Andy stops to sign autographs. #BNPPO13 -JK

[JAMES4578]

Tweet from @NeilHarmanTimes which should delight us:


GSM Muzz Bruzz 6-4, 4-6, 10-4 taking out a very decent pair. Jamie's volleying on match point classical

[RoastLamb]

So many surprises today!!! :shocked:

[xenon21]

Wahey! Well done Andy and jamie against tough opponents :)

Also from neil


@poppyforest I thought he looked particularly sharp, his ball-striking was immense and Jamie fed off that. Played an exceptionally crisp TB

[Sallydaisy]

Especially good for Jamie as his ranking is down to 80 and Andy in terms of being involved in a competitive match the day before he plays his first singles match!
Sadly, Jamie's ranking had dropped down to #90 as of 4th March (see the header on Jamie's forum) so he was desperately in need of defending the 90 points he and Andy won here last year for reaching the QF (as they've just done again). Another couple of rounds will be needed to rise up the rankings on the 18th March. Jamie really needs a regular partner to bulld up a good doubles team for 2 or 3 years - but that never seems to happen.

[supergran]

Well done JAMIE!

[patmoren]

Great start for Andy/Jamie and Colin/Paul, I like seeing Brits (and commomwealth) people winning, makes my day.

[Sallydaisy]

Well done Andy and Jamie!
:thumbup:

In R2 they'll play the winners of ALTS Hanescu/Moser (Baggy/Youzhny withdrew) or Huey/Janowicz, which is being played today Sunday 10th March, so the Bruzzas will probably be in action again on Monday.

[banskogirl]

Maybe a live stream in the next round?

[pabbers]

Wow how wrong was I! Delighted for them.

[david1610]

Maybe a live stream in the next round?
Stand to be corrected but no doubles matches have yet been played on Courts 1-3 which are probably the televised ones. Presumably this might change once the scheduling pressure of all those early round matches is eased.
PS The match between Blake/Fish and Lopez/Raonic should be an interesting one! Not to mention the returning practice the Bryans are going to get against Isner and Querrey!

[RoastLamb]

Can't believe Milos took out his fellow Davis Cup teamie. That must have been so weird for them both.

[Genbrit]

Wow how wrong was I! Delighted for them.


Me too, Pat. Glad to be wrong though. :cheer:

[david1610]

Me too, Pat. Glad to be wrong though. :cheer:
I would love to read an informed article comparing the typical strengths and weakness of an experienced doubles pairing and a pairing of top singles players, or a combination of the two, given that the doubles court/format is not the same as the singles court/format.

[lynne]

OOP for Monday:- http://www.bnpparibasopen.com/Schedules/Live-OOP.aspx


Andy & Jamie last on Stadium 2(not before 5pm local) so a late one for us I presume:)

They're 3rd on after that 17.00 start, so probably around 21.00 local time approx.
That's 04.00 in the UK!!!
:sleepy:

[david1610]

Just hope it does not drag on and become really late and then Andy gets an early start the next day.

[lynne]

Andy & Jamie lost their match 3-6, 5-7 :sad:

[JAMES4578]

Disappointing,thought they had a good chance here after the big win earlier. Pity particularly for Jamie,hopefully Andy will be going strong in the singles.

[hfwardhouse]

:crying: :crying:

[david1610]

Pity for Jamie. Hope he finds a regular partner.

[Bardot]

Check the twitter timeline of Tennis Panorama News (https://twitter.com/TennisNewsTPN) for a "commentary" throughout the match. Jerzy was serving 140mph bombs and Huey was "on fire" in the first set. Andy was struggling with his first serve "a little" and they were swapping breaks in the 2nd set. Words were also exchanged between Andy and Jerzy over suggestions Muzz Bros "touched the ball". Sounds like a fun match for the packed crowd.

Thank you. There is a photo from this of Andy and Jamie during the match available at http://twitpic.com/camozc

[Sallydaisy]

Fleming/Hanley up on livescore now!!!
Darn it, do I livescore them and not sleep or sleep a couple of hours now and then get up for Andy.

Sorry Colin ... but good luck!

[Linda]

Colin & Paul have a break :swingin:

[Sallydaisy]

Fleming/Hanley took the first set 6'3 and have a minibreak in the 2nd; serving at *2-1 up.
Now 3-1 ... looking solid. Bedtime for me.
:sleepy:

[Linda]

'Night Sally

C'mon Colin & Paul! :cheer:

[Linda]

They won 6-3 6-2 :cheer:

[JAMES4578]

Good result for Fleming/Hanley,keep going!

[Sallydaisy]

Good result for Fleming/Hanley,keep going!
Unfortunately, they couldn't keep going ... beaten last night by Peya/Soares 6'3, 4'6, 10'5.

It's a shame but I have to say Colin Fleming has played a blinder so far in 2013.

After his regular co-star of 2011/2012, Ross Hutchins, took time out for cancer treatment he's had 6 partners in 8 tournaments in 10 weeks. Yet, despite the disruption, he's won 2 x ATP250's (Auckland, Soares and Marseille, Bopanna) and reached the SF of another (Montpellier, Marray).

More to the point he's defended a lot of points and kept his ranking in the 20's. Hopefully Jonny Marray will be back soon and the pair can properly pair up and have a good run in 2013.

[JAMES4578]

A pity but another tight one and overall it's very positive for Colin.

[Sallydaisy]

Congratulations to Bob and Mike Bryan for finally winning the IW Masters!
:trophy::trophy:

They beat Huey/Janowicz 6'3, 3'6, 10'6. This was the only Masters title they had not won and they've had 15 goes; last time they reached the Final here was in 2003. ATP report here:-

[JAMES4578]

Well done Bob/Mike in completing the Masters set! Huey/Janowicz had a great tournament too!
