[Linda]

I read on Twitter (I know it's unreliable) that Gerard Granollers is the brother of Marcel Granollers - if so, what a pity that they have to play against each other in the first round :sad:

[patmoren]

Colin and Jonny on OOP for tomorrow.

[Jan62]

:boogie: Well done Colin & Jonny - winners 6-4, 2-6, 10-6 against no.4 seeds Qureshi/Rojer. :yahoo::yahoo:

[patmoren]

just posted that on twitter you beat me here. Great win for the guys.

[pabbers]

Yay!!!!!

[Linda]

:cheer:

[JAMES4578]

Yes a great win, well done Colin and Jonny!

[banskogirl]

Great win boys!

[Jan62]

Colin and Jonny are second match on Court 2 today, playing against Peya/Soares. Play starts at 12 (11am UK) so guessing they will be on about 1-ish our time? Good luck guys!

[Jan62]

:facepalm: Unfortunately our boys lost 7-6 (7-5), 6-4. :crying:

[Linda]

:sad:

[JAMES4578]

Disappointing but that's the way it goes at times and Peya/Soares also tough.

[Jan62]

Was disappointing, but also Colin later tweeted that he was flying home for a few days and for treatment on a niggling injury so that might help explain.
