Roland Garros 2013 (Jamie & John Peers)

[Jane]

I must have missed them the first time I looked at the draw, but they are there, as was announced on ITV4 a few minutes ago. They are third on Court 16 today, when they will play Knowle(Aut) and Polosek(Svk)(15). All the very best of luck guys:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

:thanks: Jane - we did set up the FTD for them at the weekend as soon as the draw was out and spotted them there! Hopefully they'll get through this tough first round match!

[Jane]

Ooops - found it! I don't usually go that far!!!:shamed:

[Jane]

[Sallydaisy]

Honestly! John INverdale just did a round up of the results and said, despite the scoreboard, that Peers was American!!! He's Australian ...

[Linda]

Tiebreak in set 2!

[Jane]

Yesssssssss - great win for Jamie and John 7-6. 7-6 Well done lads :boogie::yahoo::boogie::yahoo:

[Linda]

Well done guys! :clap: :clap:

[jaysee]

Honestly! John INverdale just did a round up of the results and said, despite the scoreboard, that Peers was American!!! He's Australian ...
At least he's realised we have some doubles players! Earlier today he said that all British interest in Roland Garros was over...:grrr:

Well done, Jamie & John to come through in a tight match!:boogie:

[harriet]

good start, who's next?
next up are JS Cabal and Robt Farah, who knocked out Skupski and Malisse

[JAMES4578]

A great win for Jamie and John, delighted for them!:cheer::cheer::swingin: Let's hope they can keep the good form going!

[TeamGB]

Colin and Jonny in a really tough encounter right now! 2-1* in the third!

[Jane]

Jamie and John play Cabal and Farah(both Columbian) tomorrow - third on Court 8. Best of luck, guys:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

[Jane]

The match has just started

[Sallydaisy]

Have been watching a couple of the singles matches but will turn on the livescoreboard on laptop to keep an eye on everything!

[Jane]

First set to Jamie and John 6-3 - good stuff:cheer::cheer:

[Sallydaisy]

Very good start, and they had Ad to break in the opening game of the second set but Cabalah held on. I think it's vital they get ahead early in Set 2 if they can.

Colin and Jonny in a really tough encounter right now! 2-1* in the third!

No problem, shame Colin and Jonny couldn't win yesterday! Still got Dom and Treat and of course Jamie and John who are a break up in the decider!

[TeamGB]

Double break!

[Sallydaisy]

Double break!
But they're struggling to hang on to it ... serving at 4-1 up in the 3rd set and *15-40 but now *30-40.

And broken back but they're still up a break at 4-2.

[harriet]

had a second break, but then dropped it. cabal+farah serving at 2-4

[harriet]

just dropped serve again, long deuce point, but all square now, cabal+farah at 4-4

[Jane]

4-4 c'mon Jamie and John:sofa:

[Sallydaisy]

Oh dear, Cabal/Farah have broken back twice and held so now Jamie/John are serving to stay in the match at *4-5.
:sofa:

[Sallydaisy]

GSM Cabal/Farah 3'6, 6'4, 6'4
:sad:

Wonder whether Jamie/John will get into Queens? Or if they'll play Nottingham?

[harriet]

well, just like the second set, served at 4-5, and were beaten on the ad point.
lost 6-3, 4-6, 4-6 they'll be annoyed, had a good chance to progress and muffed it.

[Linda]

:sad:

[Jane]

So sorry they lost :sad: - missed the end of the match, as I had to go out. Better luck next time, guys:thumbup:

Lovely interview with the boys with John Inverdale on ITV4 at the end of the Monfils/Robredo match :cheer:

[Linda]

Aww, I missed it - I turned off the TV when the match ended :sad:

[xenon21]

So close with the lead and all :)

[JAMES4578]

A tight but pity Jamie/John couldn't quite do it in the end! Oh well should gain some confidence nonetheless.
