Colin and Jonny lost the first set 4-6, but are 4-1* in the second

[Sallydaisy]

more to fill in and move over later tonight but for now Fleming/Marray are down a set, 4'6, to Berlocq/Schwank but up in the 2nd set 4-1. But there's thunder and rain forecast ... and a great tweet from Piers on the BBC.


Piers Newbery ‏@piersnewbery (https://twitter.com/piersnewbery) 1m (https://twitter.com/piersnewbery/status/372756961055735808) Darkening skies as Fleming/Marray fight back, 4-6 4-1. "Is this a doubles match?" One of the weirder questions I've overheard...


Only in America ... maybe?

JJ on serve at *3-4 in the first set.
Ingluey have a break and are serving *4-3 2nd set against Brouhy, but from *40-15 they're now at deuce so hope they won't be broken back.

[harriet]

kitkat for treat'n'dom, they win 6-3, 6-3, very quickly, a mere 52mins

[Sallydaisy]

Yay!!! Inglot/Huey through to the 3rd round with a 6'3, 6'3 win.

Hoping Jamie and John can join them ... they're about to serve at *5-6 to take it into a tie-breaker for the first set.

I'm making food so will not be around much this evening until Andy is on.

Who are brocci??? JJ are playing Lopez/Sa ...
:confused:

Well done Jamie and John for nabbing that 2nd set.
Now they need the 3rd one as well ...

[JAMES4578]

Glad Jamie/John have battled into the decider, let's hope they can keep the momentum going!

[harriet]

Who are brocci??? JJ are playing Lopez/Sa ...

Bryans have lost the first set on a tiebreak

[Sallydaisy]

Bryans have lost the first set on a tiebreak
It's headed for another tiebreak too!!! Canada serving at *4-5 in the 2nd set.
If they lose it this'll go to a 3rd - and a longer wait for Andy!

Nerves from the Bryans maybe? They're going for a GRAND SLAM aren't they?

[traveller7]

Bryans won 2nd 75 into a 3rd we go

[Sallydaisy]

Ooops, Fleming/Marray broken already and are 0-2 to BopsERV.
Need to hold their serve this game.

[traveller7]

Broken back 1-2 next to serve

[Linda]

2-2 Vamos! :swingin:

[traveller7]

4-3 with a break!

[Sallydaisy]

C'mon Flemray!!! *15-30 serving for the first set ... if they win they face the Bryans in the next round 'cos the bros just won their match 6'7, 7'5 and 6'2.

[JAMES4578]

Ceretainly The Bryans showed their class in that 3rd set! Adv for Colin/Johnny and they take first 6-4,keep it going!

[harriet]

at last! from 0-40, they take the first set 6-4

[Sallydaisy]

:phew:
That was a long game! Well in Colin and Jonny.
One more set to go .....

[Linda]

[traveller7]

And they are 3-1 up woop! Go Flemray!

[harriet]

[JAMES4578]

Hold for 4-2, come on guys!

[harriet]

serving at 4-3, after another long game where they failed to win a second break

[Sallydaisy]

Struggling to hold serve in this game but they really need to if they want to stay ahead.

[traveller7]

Finally held serve so now at 5-3

[harriet]

another endless deuce game, which they hold. bop/vass now at 3-5

[Jan]

come on Flemray!

[harriet]

[JAMES4578]

Hopefully a strong delivery, come on!

[Jan]

:yahoo::yahoo:

[Jane]

Great result for Colin and Jonny - well done guys:yahoo::yahoo::yahoo:

[Sallydaisy]

Jamie/John won't be on court for another 3/4 hour or so - waiting to get on Court 17 where Seppi v Istomin have gone to a 5th set. FTD deadline extended.

[harriet]

colin'n'jonny play the bryan bros tomorrow, on ashe, at night, under the lights, second match after the rafa/kohlschreiber dustup at 7pm

[Jane]

Jamie and John have arrived on court - match being shown on Sky via the red button and Livescorehunter

[Sallydaisy]

Nice to be able to watch Jamie in action for a change!!!
I suspect it might be because he and John are up against an American duo (including the re-emergent Brian Baker) that it's on a televised court. There aren't many Americans left in the draws on the mens side.

They're all wearing black shorts, white t-shirt and white cap so the only way to know who's who is to look out for Jamie's red shoes!!!
All on serve at the moment; J's to serve next at *2-3.

[JAMES4578]

In my case good to be able to see this on TV!

[supergran]

Lovely to see some more doubles. especially Jamie. 4-5 first set

[traveller7]

Lovely to see some more doubles.

Yes I agree!

[supergran]

Baker/Ram take 1st set 7-5.

[traveller7]

The have lost the first set 5-7

[JAMES4578]

Well tight open but pity Jamie/John down a set, come on!

[Jane]

:crying:Oops - first set gone


The Americans are wearing very pale green tops with grey markings, Sally:)

[Sallydaisy]

Ah, that was really really close. Jamie was serving and got to 40-15 and then the others produced some great shots to take it to deuce. A couple of forced errors and the set was gone. Perils of serving 2nd ... just a couple of points and we could have had a tie-break.

Jamie and John are playing very well as a team and could easily turn the match around.

[Sallydaisy]

Still going with serve although the J's had a couple of breakpoint chances in that last game. They're now serving at *3-4 in the 2nd set and, since the American pair are playing really well, will need to ensure they hold their own serve before trying any break of Baker/Ram.

[david1610]

They just need a break... to get that break!

[traveller7]

So frustrating cant get on their serve at all

[Sallydaisy]

matchpoint to the americans

[Sallydaisy]

:phew:
Saved!!!

Johnboy needs a couple of big serves and no errors from the Js

[traveller7]

:phew: that was close
come on break here pllleeassseee

[Sallydaisy]

5-5.

Now then, the USA could be susceptible to being broken after failing to take the match in that last game. Bakerboy serving.

[Sallydaisy]

6 games all ... tie-break

[traveller7]

:sofa:
eekk

[Sallydaisy]

USA to serve first:-

*0-1 and an immediate mini-break for J's
0-2* fine 2nd serve from John
0-3* Ace from Peers ... challenged by USA, wrong!
*1-3
*1-4 and another mb off a fie return from Peers
1-5* looks as though the J's might snatch this 2nd set after all ...

:cauldron:

[david1610]

Pretty comprehensive TB. Hope they can carry this through to the third. 7-2!

[Jane]

:yahoo:One set all - great recovery from the Js:boogie:

[Sallydaisy]

1-6* and the Brits have 5 set points!!!
:dance:

*2-6 one saved by a good 2nd serve from Ram
*2-7

Well done lads! Now for set 3 and another late night for me!

[traveller7]

:yahoo:

well done!

[lynne]

Phew!......well done guy's:thumbup:

[JAMES4578]

A convincing breaker for Jamie/John when they looked up against it not so long ago, come on!

[Sallydaisy]

Shirt change for the J's, they look much better in black with red flashes.
:thumbup:

[traveller7]

Still on serve Brits 3-2 at the moment just need that break

[Sallydaisy]

the J's just held for 3-2 in the 3rd set.
they're serving first to tbh if they could only break once, and then hold their own, it'd probably mean they won this match. But it's very close still and the USA have their home crowd firmly behind them.

But ................... Baker/Ram currently *0-30

[traveller7]

Not been able to convert those bp's again

[traveller7]

Nice hold service game there but needs to break to be with a chance of winning no converted bp's at all in the match (apart from in tb)

[Sallydaisy]

They're getting more chances on Bakers service games but now Ram is in the driving seat and he's giving nothing away.

[traveller7]

Managed to get two points on there serve :facepalm:

Come on Murray!!!!!!

[traveller7]

Great hold -now is the time for that kitkat please!!!

[Helen40]

Score now please?

[traveller7]

5-5 third set

[Sallydaisy]

Ram serving to stay in the match at *5-6, the J's take it to 30-30.
USA nudge ahead 40-30 ...
Brits bring it to deuce.

The J's are 2 points from the win now but they have to do a bit more to earn and win the breaks.
Ad USA.

[lynne]

EEEEEk!..

[Helen40]

4-1 tb

[david1610]

6-6
Currently 4-1 to our guys!
Now 5-1 - sensational point.
6-1

[Sallydaisy]

3rd set tie-break ... J's serving first

*1-0
2-0* keep it going lads, double break would be very good
2-1* still a mb up, Jamie to serve
*3-1 let's have another one Jamie please
*4-1 c'mawwwwwwwwwwwwwwn
5-1* Oh yeah!!!

[Sallydaisy]

change of ends and the J's are just 2 points away (again!)

[Sallydaisy]

6-1* and John Peers has 2 serves for the match.
*6-3
*6-3
Ooooops, nerves perhaps but the USA broke twice ...
6-4*
7-4* and VICTORY FOR THE BRITS

:bravo:

[david1610]

Eek just lost two service points! 6-3 and now receiving. C'mon guys!

Brilliant win.....great going Jamie & John............Bravo!!!:thumbup::thumbup:

Yes! Is that Jamie's first men's doubles GS QF?
Yes it is, first time he'd reached the 3rd round too since Wimbledon 2007 with Butorac.
Well done to Jamie and John - that was such a close match.

[JAMES4578]

Very close match but Jamie/John came up trumphs in the breakers, would maybe have been tense:clap::clap::clap: had 6-1 gone to 6-5 but the J's found a way!Well done guys!

[Bardot]

Great performance and saving a MP from J & J! :boogie::boogie:

Somewhat muted celebration from the boys although Judy more than made up for it. :yahoo::yahoo:

Is theirs very much an on court partnership and they do their own thing away from tennis? Just get the impression they're two different personalities. Whatever it is, it's certainly working.

[traveller7]

Another late night scheduled for tomorrow with the flemray on at approx 2.30am

[Sallydaisy]

Another late night scheduled for tomorrow with the flemray on at approx 2.30am
Sadly I'll have to miss that - and need to be off to bed right now as I've work in the morning and must be up at 6am!!! Too exciting to leave the tennis tonight though. Really good performance from Jamie and John!

So chuffed for Jamie & John - I didn't get to see it - remote control wasn't within my control :grrr:

Fabulous result for JJ. And with Flemray through as well, this has been a great tourney for our dubs guys. Congrats to all, lets see what happens with week 2.

[Jan]

well done J&J!!

Good luck to Flemray for later vs the Bryans! A tough match, but you never know...
:GBflag:

edit - and of course to Ingluey too!

[jaysee]

Bet365 have got a stream for Ingluey! :unclesam:

Quite a few people coming in at this change of ends. There would be way more people watching a R16 doubles match at Wimbledon!

Ingluey leading 6-5* still on serve.

... and TB time it is. :sofa:

Who needs a :sofa:? Ingluey take the first set 7-6(2). Just one more set please ...

Great win for Ingluey, 7-6 6-0. That's 4 Brits in the doubles QFs - let's hope that Flemray can go one further tonight!

Interesting tweet from Piers Newbury. Was Granollers in a strop on court Jaycee?

Piers Newbery ‏@piersnewbery (https://twitter.com/piersnewbery) 3m (https://twitter.com/piersnewbery/status/374670167734624256) Inglot (GB)/Huey (Phi) beat Spanish 3rd seeds Lopez/Granollers 7-6 7-0, four Brits into the doubles quarters. Granollers was fuming. #usopen (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23usopen&src=hash)

[jaysee]

Well he certainly chucked his towel down very hard at the last change of ends!;)

[Helen40]

So we could have Brits in 3/4 of the semi slots. How cool would that be!!!!

[Sallydaisy]

Good Luck Fleming/Marray - up against the Bryans who are aiming to win a calendar Grand Slam.
This one's gonna be tough!!!
:GBflag:

[lynne]

Good Luck Fleming/Marray....:thumbup::thumbup:

[traveller7]

Not sure I am going to be able to keep awake for it at this rate. Nadal looks set to go to 4 sets unless he is knocked out in 3 aswell!

[Helen40]

I like Nadal, so hope he isn't knocked out unexpectedly. It's certainly turning into another weird Slam.

1-1, looks like it's going to be a long one. Night all.

[RoastLamb]

Good Luck Fleming/Marray....:thumbup::thumbup:

Really hope they win!!!

[traveller7]

Been following on livescore going to serve at the moment but Bryans holding easily each time whereas there is a weaker brit whenever they serve it always goes to deuce. The also served second so always behind
eek
:sofa:

[RoastLamb]

They are showing the Team USA vs Team GB match on HD tv. :yahoo:

[traveller7]

Think im the only fool in the uk still awake watching

[lynne]

Think im the only fool in the uk still awake watching


Make that two of us...:pillows:



TB time!!!

[traveller7]

Ah what a shame lost it on the tb soooo close!

[lynne]

Bryans take the first set 7-6, this is some match so, so close!


COME ON FLEMRAY!!!!!:thumbup:

[RoastLamb]

Argh!!! Colin is the weaker link. But still holding their own quite nicely. Just a couple of points difference really.

[traveller7]

All over for this pair of brits 7-6 6-4 a really good tight match.

[RoastLamb]

Too bad for Team GB but great to be able to watch a dubs match on telly. :thumbup:

[lynne]

Yes, the Bryans were more in control in the second set......such a shame for Flemray!!!!

[Jennan]

Good quality match, they will be disappointed but gave a good account of themselves. Will be ready for Davis Cup.

[JAMES4578]

Good effort from Colin/Jonny but the Bryans were just a step ahead,so tight in the first! A good run from them,whilst Bob/Mike looking like they have good shot of calendar Slam!

[Jan62]

Tough loss for Flemray - great effort, and so so close. Congrats to Ingluey on their latest win; now come on JJ today! Best of luck guys.

[traveller7]

Mark Petchy tweeted today that the first set was the best set of tennis he has seen in the us open so far! It was very good shot making and literally a couple of missed shots and a df was the difference between them losing it. Great effort am shattered today though!

[Jan]

sooo close for Flemray - but a great tournie for them.
Well done Ingluey!

[RoastLamb]

Completely empty on grandstand for the mixed dubs. :shocked:

[Jane]

Best of luck to Jamie and John:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

[lynne]

Best of Luck J&J!!!:thumbup::thumbup:





The boy's are up on the scoreboard!!!!!.....COME ON!!!!!

[Jane]

They are SUPPOSED to be on tv and on Livescorehunter, but I think the camera must be broken!!

[RoastLamb]

hmmm I cannot get a livestream. I keep getting Azarenka-Ivanovic. Weird. Does anyone have a stream link?

[jaysee]

No, they're listed on lshunter but none of the streams are of them :grrr:

[Bardot]

Their match wasn't included on the Bet365 schedule this morning and I was hoping there might be a stream elsewhere but it looks like court 17 coverage has stopped.

[lynne]

Like you say they are listed, but not showing on any, thought it was strange as Bet365 don't even have them listed!!!!

[RoastLamb]

Bummer!!!

[traveller7]

I cant find a stream either shame

[RoastLamb]

well I'm happy my guys won their mixed dubs match in straights. Phew! Just wish I could now watch Jamie in play.

[Jan]

no - it's a shame, I was looking forward to watching it too.
Come on J&J - it's 3-3 at the moment

[traveller7]

lost 1st set 4-6

[Jane]

Ooops - first set gone

[Sallydaisy]

No stream? That's bad considering Peya/Soares are #2 seeds ... and I'd have liked to watch a bit more of Jamie and John in action.

It's on serve in the 2nd set at 3-3 with the J's to serve next.

[RoastLamb]

The televised court situation at the USO is dire. Compare this to Wimbly where you can pretty much watch all the doubles and juniors and wheelchair AND seniors. Pffft! Not impressed at all.

[Sallydaisy]

Tie-break for the 2nd set, crunch time:-
J's serving first:

*1-0
1-1*
1-2*
*2-2
*3-2 so all with serve so far
3-3* at the change of ends

[Sallydaisy]

3-4* 2 holds for Peya/Soares
*4-4
*5-4
6-4* and the first minibreak to the J's!!!
7-4*

great time to break the serve of the no 2 seeds and take the 2nd set.

Game on!!!
:GBflag:

[traveller7]

Yay :yahoo: come on guys!

[Jane]

Wey-hey - one set all Come on lads - you can do this

[Bardot]

Sky have a camera in a good position on court 17 and have been showing some of the crucial points like the double-fault by Soares for JJ to win the second set. :thumbup: If only they would just stay on 17.

[Sallydaisy]

Hmm, wish the lads had been serving first in this set; one blink and Peya/Soares will get a break.

On serve though with the J's at *30-15, 1-2

[Linda]

Vamos Jamie & John :swingin:

Sad that Flemray are out, I couldn't stay up to watch the match as I was so tired and had to get up for work this morning. In fact I couldn't even see Rafa's match out and went to bed half way through.

[JAMES4578]

Good fightback by Jamie/John, let's hope they can make the crucial breakthrough in the decider! Real pity we can't watch though!

[traveller7]

Still on serve 2-3

[lynne]

Come on lads get this point!!!!




YESSSSSS!!!!!.....4-4 In the third!!

[JAMES4578]

Had to save a few bps but still very much in the hunt,Peya/Soares easily hold for 5-4 though. oh no Jamie/John bow out,saved 2 mps but Peya/Soares just a bit stronger in the end. Still a good effort and great tournament for them.

[traveller7]

Lost the 3rd 4-6 what a shame

[Linda]

:crying:

[Jane]

Oh dear - so sorry they lost, but they gave the No 2 seeds a run for their money

[Sallydaisy]

:sad:

They fought so hard but in the end Peya/Soares lived up to their higher ranking and #2 seeding and beat Murary/Peers 6'4, 6'7, 6'4.

Bad luck lads - you came sooooooooo close!
:bravo:

[harriet]

disappointing, perils of serving second

[lynne]

Shame, Shame, Shame.....but done well to get this far....!!!:thumbup:

[Jennan]

So disappointed, thought they might do it.

[Genbrit]

Shame for the 2 j's but looked as though it was a well fought match. They did very well, good luck to them in the future.

[Jan]

Encouraging that they had a close match against the second seeds - hope their partnership continues to blossom!

[hfwardhouse]

Close match - so disappointed they didn't manage to pull off the win but a great run!

[Jan62]

Disappointing for JJ but well done on a great run. Seem to be settling in to a really good partnership, hope it continues.

[patmoren]

Very tight match and they almost made it. Very good run at US Open

[RoastLamb]

A couple of good dubs matches to watch today: Huey/Inglot and Danny/Kristina's mixed semi.

[traveller7]

Inglot/Huey just lost first set 5-7
