Hopefully JB will pull off another tournament win

[JerryD]

A lot of GB interest here as well as Dom and Jamie and partners in the main draw, Fleming and his partner lipsky are playing in the quailes and have just won in the first round

[exislander]

I see Evans with Kyrgios again too!
Edit - now replaced by F Lopez/J Monaco.

[JerryD]

Fleming and Lipsky lost in the last round of quailes and sadly didn't make the main draw

[Bardot]

From Dans twitter, he was back in Solihull watching the Ryder Cup from a pub. According to the draw sheet, he withdrew from the doubles with "foot pain". Assume this means he's also out of Shanghai.

[pabbers]

That foot must still be troubling Dan then. Not that he's fond of travelling to far flung places.

[JerryD]

Dom in action tomorrow with Rojer against pospisil and paire. They are the last match on show court one.

Jamie and Bruno are first up on court 8 agianst Sousa and klizan.

Wishing Jamie and Bruno all the best of luck :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

[Stell]

Granollers and Matkowski win in three sets 7 - 6 (8 - 6), 3 - 6, 10 - 7.

[JerryD]

Gutted to see Dom go out again would have loved to see him and Rojer take on Jamie and Bruno in the semis

[roytennisfan]

Shame Dom and Rojer lost, pretty close match, lost first set 8-6 in tiebreak, won 6-3 then lost in the decider 7-10

[JerryD]

Despite being out of the singles Berdy is still in the doubles with Stepanek, they play 2nd seed Klaasen and ram tomorrow.

So sorry they lost :crying: :crying: :crying:

[Bardot]

Tough loss for J&B who had 5 BPs in the second set although the Columbians are a good longstanding pair.

[hfwardhouse]

Aw no - :crying:

[JerryD]

So disappointed with this loss but after none of the singles in Japan going my way either I can't say I'm surprised. It's one of those days. Jamie and Bruno can now rest up and then travel to the next tournie early to get some more practice and training. They have had a fantastic but long year.

[Alis]

Oh dear - I didn't see that one coming at all!
