[RoastLamb]

Thought this was starting at noon. Darn it!

[traveller7]

Looks like it will be over soon Dodig and co leading 4-1 in second set :facepalm:

[RoastLamb]

Weren't Dodig and Melo in the Wimbly final as well? Very strong team.

[ljs]

Nestor and Mladenovic coming up :cheer:

[ljs]

[RoastLamb]

can't bear to watch...

[ljs]

[ljs]

:crying:

[RoastLamb]

Wow that was hard. Just one point in it. So frustrating. But it was a very competitive match. I can't be too sad coz they did win Wimbledon.

[Jan]

The Bryans are in a struggle in their semi - if it goes to a third Andy won't be on at 6.30.

[traveller7]

Down a break in the third the Bryans Andy probably on at 730pm

[RoastLamb]

Really enjoying this dubs match. Leander Paes is my second fave dubs player next to Danny Nestor.

[traveller7]

Oh nooo Bryans down 1-4 come on guys would love them to win the GS!

[traveller7]

woop bryans get a break back come on lads :yahoo:

[Sallydaisy]

Paes Stepanek serving for the match at 5-4 up in the 3rd set ...
*15-0
*30-0

[traveller7]

Oh what a shame the bryans are out superb playing from both teams

[Linda]

Well done to Paes & Stepanek :clap: :clap:

[RoastLamb]

Well done Leander and Steppy. Love them!!!

[JAMES4578]

Bit of a surprise that The Bryans went down Paes/Steppy 6-4 in the 3rd, recovered from 5-1 down but left it a bit late. Certainly a great performance from the 4th seeds but would've been fab for Bob/Mike to get the calendar slam and personally disappointed.

Yeah me too :(

[traveller7]

peya/soares beat Dodg/melo in two sets 7-5 6-4

[LC the fan]

Delighted for paes and. Stephane's... Just love to see them play

[RoastLamb]

Trying to watch the men's dubs final but the livestream is virtually unwatchable. Of course, it's not being shown on tv coz the Bryans aren't in it. :rolleyes:

Leander and Steppy have first set 6-1.

[JAMES4578]

It's been shown on Sky here,Paes/Steppy in the zone but Peya/Soares seem to have let the occasion get to them, now down 2-0 in the 2nd too.

[RoastLamb]

Found a decent one - finally! Only took me one set and a bit!

[Linda]

Congrats to Paes & Stepanek :clap: :clap: I expected them to win but didn't expect it to be as one sided.

[RoastLamb]

Sooooooooooooooooo happy for Leander and Steppy! :yahoo: What a wonderful speech by Leander. Hadn't realized that Steppy had spinal surgery earlier this year.

Peya was injured so that's probably why it was so one-sided.

[Linda]

That wasn't until the second set, though? Hope he is OK.

Going to find my earplugs for next match.

[RoastLamb]

Peya said in his speech that his back had been bothering him the whole match but something snapped in the second. :eek:

[RoastLamb]

Watching the Sky coverage on livestream is pretty good - better than ESPN.

[JAMES4578]

Certainly a great performance from Paes/Steppy but had hoped for a closer match, pity Peya/Soares took a while to get going though injury a factor even if it probably didn't change the outcome.

[Linda]

Watching the Sky coverage on livestream is pretty good - better than ESPN.

I've been watching the Sky coverage for several days. It's certainly better than Eurosport, which I watched for the first couple of days, but not ideal. I'm glad I don't have to watch the American coverage with their commies which from all accounts is atrocious. But if only TennisTV covered the slams as well as the Masters! You can't beat Koenig & Goodall.

[RoastLamb]

Yeah, I really wish tennistv would cover the slams. The livestreams have been pretty dodgy. The amount of advertising and promotions on American tv during the USO is just gross.

[Linda]

Of all the slams, the USO is the one where it's the most difficult to find a decent livestream. But this year I've been lucky to find a good stream of Sky (I'd better not say where in case Sky block it!)
