They're not on the Entry List but it's good to hear Jonny Marray and Colin Fleming are planning to play here. They should get one of the 'On-Site' places - or maybe even a WC for the reigning Wimbledon doubles Champion (and partner).


Simon Cambers ‏@scambers73 (https://twitter.com/scambers73) Good to hear that @JonnyMarray (https://twitter.com/JonnyMarray) is fit again - he and @colin_fleming (https://twitter.com/colin_fleming) are set
to team up again in Miami and on clay. Good stuff and good pairv

[Hawkeye]

Fleming & Marray about to start v. Kubot & Tipsarevic.

[Sallydaisy]

Nearly time for Fleming and Marray to start their match in Miami.

Shockerooni news on the double front is that the Bryans went out in R1.
:faint:

I need to add the draw to the first post.

[Sallydaisy]

:lol:
I went off to find the doubles draw and forgot to send my post. Beaten to it by Hawkeye. Shucks!

Hope Youzhny is tired after his singles match.
:p

[Sallydaisy]

The lads have a break and are serving at *3-1.

[Hawkeye]

Marming take the first set 6-3.

[JAMES4578]

Good start, let's keep the momentum going guys! The Bryans went down on the ctb last night which was certainly a shock!

[Sallydaisy]

Kubot/Tipsy serving in the 2nd set and have just held for 5-4. Colin and Jonny need to hold right now and then try for a break or we're headed for a tie-break!

[Linda]

Just got home! Vamos Colin & Jonny! :swingin:

[JAMES4578]

Tight 2nd but Colin/Jonny lose breaker 11-9 and so now into the ctb, come on guys!

[Linda]

6-6 Eek :sofa:

[Hawkeye]

Mp *10-9!

They lost 3-6 7-6(9) 13-11

[Linda]

:crying: :crying: :crying:

[JAMES4578]

Mighty close but gutting nonetheless,pity for Colin/Jonny as Kubot/Tipsy go through.:crying::crying:

[patmoren]

Shame for Colin and Jonny, they had their chances but couldn't close it out. So frustrating when it is so close.

[Hawkeye]

Dom Inglot involved in another doubles marathon partnering Treat Huey against Qureshi and Rojer. They lost 6-4 3-6 12-14.

[Sallydaisy]

Long breakers not working for the Brits in Miami ...
:sad:

[Jan]

oh I don't like these MTBs

[Linda]

:sad:

[JAMES4578]

Another tough one to lose:crying::crying:
