Hope it is not too serious, a set all.

[RoastLamb]

I'm trying to watch this match on the computer but the Fed-Stak match is too compelling. Glad to see they're winning - so far!

[JAMES4578]

Hopefully they keep in control in the 4th!

[RoastLamb]

Well done boys!!! Great win!

[JAMES4578]

Good win, well done guys!

If I try 302 on my TV, I get a message telling me to retune my receiver - but I can't remember how to do it :confused: Think I'll just carry on using the BBC website!

[Jane]

I'm flipping about between Freeview and Sky Sports, where the Lions v. The Aussies (rugby) are on. Lions leading 12-9

[traveller7]

Yes 2 sets only this best of 3 cazza?!

[cazza99]

Eh? On my live score they've only played two sets so far :confused: (I'm watching Verdasco whilst livescoring this and other matches)

[david1610]

Jamie just survived a match point - his match 10-10 in the fifth!!!! Murray and Peers playing Blake and Melzer!

It would probably be really stressful to actually watch it - they keep being taken to deuce on their serve :sofa:

[lynne]

This is stressful............12-12

[Jane]

Its bad enough watching the scores on LS - c'mon guys

[traveller7]

12-13 come on JJ!

[Jane]

Jamie and John finally lost to two great players and what a battle it has been - I'm gutted for them

Going to be difficult for them to win that in that position

Chris Goldsmith ‏@TheTennisTalker 1m

Court 3 Marray and Watson v Date-Krumm & Marrero... should be a cracker

Just starting.

[cazza99]

Hev and Marray 4-1 up in the first set.

[cazza99]

Chris Goldsmith ‏@TheTennisTalker 32s

1st set Watson and Marray 6-2 over Date-Krumm & Marrero

[cazza99]

Fleming and Robson just about to start on court 14.

[cazza99]

British Tennis ‏@BritishTennis 1m

In the mixed Marray & Watson have lost the second set 6-3 & are into a decider. Fleming & Robson are 4-3 on serve in their opener #BrtiWatch

[cazza99]

Hev and Marray have lost.

But Laura and Colin have won the first set :)

[cazza99]

Laura and Colin are on Freeview and Sky red button.

[cazza99]

Edmund and Bouchard are just about to start on court 12.

Colin and Laura are a break behind in the second set 2-4.

[jaysee]

After today's losses, I think our only remaining doubles pairing is Dom Inglot & JoKo, who didn't get on court today for their 2R match against the 8th seeds, Danny Nestor & Kristina Mladenovic.

[traveller7]

They are arriving on court now and its on the red button

[Linda]

I never expected this to be televised!

[traveller7]

I never expected this to be televised!
Noone else playing really apart from seniors!

[traveller7]

And they win first set 6-3

[RoastLamb]

Very impressed with Ing./Kon. - he is a very good server!!!

[traveller7]

Pretty solid serving.

[Linda]

Noone else playing really apart from seniors!

That's never stopped them from failing to show doubles before!

[traveller7]

That's never stopped them from failing to show doubles before!
Very true :thumbup:

[traveller7]

Nestor/Mla serving for 2nd set at 5-3 and get it
1 set all

[RoastLamb]

Do they play another full set or a CTB?

[Linda]

No MTBs at Wimbledon! This is proper tennis!

[RoastLamb]

Don't think they'll have time to finish it if it goes the distance.

Nice to see "proper" tennis for a change.

[traveller7]

The brits lost in 3 sets :(

[Linda]

:sad:

[RoastLamb]

Sorry for their loss but I'm glad Danny got a win in today after losing the epic 5-setter earlier.

[traveller7]

Blake/melzer just won 3rd set on tb after losing first two sets 5-7 0-6

[RoastLamb]

Cannot believe Blake and Melzer are losing that badly. :sad:

I'm patiently waiting for the mixed dubs match to begin on court 18.

[traveller7]

Break down in 4th now.
My ftm for doubles is appalling!

[traveller7]

The Bryans have lost first set on tiebreak after having nine previous points to break in the set!

[RoastLamb]

Bryans up a break in the second tho'. I'm watching the dubs matches on computer and taping the women's semis for later. After the Bryans match Danny Nestor is taking on the mixed quarters.

[traveller7]

My goodness the Bryans having a tough old match in the 5th set but they are 5-2 up!

[traveller7]

Won through in the end
6-7 6-4 6-3 5-7 6-3

[RoastLamb]

Too bad it too so long. I thought they'd win in straights. I have to go out now so will unfortunately miss some if not most of the mixed dubs. Poo!

[traveller7]

Paes/Stepanek also into a 5th set!

[RoastLamb]

Come on Steppy/Leander!!!

My guys just took the first set in mixed in the tiebreaker. Fingers crossed.

[traveller7]

Dodig/melo won 6-3in the 5th set

[RoastLamb]

Oh well my FTD has been rubbish! Sad the two Indian men went out in the semis. Should be an interesting final tho'. Don't know if the Bryans will run away with it.

[traveller7]

yes my FTM for doubles has been diabolical! :shocked:

[RoastLamb]

Oh well there's still an Indian woman in the mixed. But she's playing against my team so I can't support her as much. :sad:

[RoastLamb]

Yay! My team wins! Through to the semi. So excited. Great match!!! :yahoo:

[RoastLamb]

:yahoo: FINALLY!!! Danny and Kristina make it into the final. 11-9 in the final set. WOWSA!!!

[JAMES4578]

Could well be a few interesting finals in the doubles, Bob/Mike v Doig/Melo though americans must be strong favourites for that one. Unexpected in the women's event as it's Hsieh/Peng v Barty/Dellacqua and Liza and Bruno v Danny and Kristina in the Mixed.

[RoastLamb]

Barty/Dellacqua are very impressive!!! Watched their semi this morning. I hope they win.

[Sallydaisy]

The Bryans won the Mens Doubles title!!!
They now hold the Golden Slam i.e. all 4 Grand Slams and the Olympics Gold Medal.
If they win at the USO they'll also hold THE Grand Slam of all the titles in one year.

[JAMES4578]

Great achievement for the Bryans, well done! Dodig/Melo had a great start and actually won the first 5 games before taking the set 6-3 but Bob/Mike's superiority shone through as the final progressed.

[traveller7]

Missed them winning fab achievement though!

[RoastLamb]

Watching the mixed dubs final. Or trying to - so hard to concentrate. But it's a set apiece right now, on serve in third.

[lynne]

Nestor/Mladenovic won..5-7,6-2,8-6.......:thumbup:..for Fiona!!:thumbup:

[RoastLamb]

Just when I thought the day could not get any better!!!

:yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

[ljs]

I know , how awesome for them :cheer::cheer:

[traveller7]

Aww well done to them :yahoo:
