Tough draw Andy and dan playing the Lopez guys. It looks like the match will be on the same court dan is on earlier. a lot of rip guys playing doubles, I wonder if the all Serbian team is about getting some practice in for their DC against Spain.

Andy and Dan leading 3-2 on serve. Very high quality match so far. C'mon Andy and Dan!
Andy and Dan get the break for 5-3 and then Dan serves it out for the first set!
Go on Dan...very entertaining match 4-3 :thumbup:
Great entertainment and some amazing points from both pairs. I'm not sure Andy's used to having a partner who talks so much, Dan loves to chat. :big grin:
What a shot from Dan...:yikes:
Dan and Andy win a very entertaining first set :yahoo: :yahoo:
Andy getting plenty overhead practice. I'd say Dan is the best man on court so far.
Pospisil has won his doubles match with Johnson beating Matkowski/Peya 11-9 in the MTB.
I'm sure it's nothing but seeing Andy shake out his right arm/wrist, he was also doing that in practice yesterday.
It's gone a bit pear shaped this set with both Andy and Dan broken. Andy looking more and more concerned about his arm/elbow/wrist. 1-5
Andy changed into a shirt which isn't black or white (it's dark red)! :shocked:

Very nice I think!
Andy will do anything rather than smash :big grin: 8-5
Brilliant FH down the middle from Andy. 9-6
Andy and Dan get the win - great stuff :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :GBflag:
Well done lads! 10-6 in the MTB. Great smile from Dan. :big grin:
The more Andy was shaking his wrist during the match the more I was thinking it would be better if.....nah, always good to win. ;)
Brilliant win for Andy & Dan...very entertaining match, great play from both guys...well worth staying up for!!!:thumbup::sleepy:....Night folks!!!:thumbup:

What a great crowd for doubles and not on court 1 either!!! Can't wait for Rafa's dubs match now.
Dan on his phone as usual:big grin:
Watched the last set, both of them delighted to win. Well done.
Andy in red making that "smash" (https://twitter.com/TennisTV/status/840418219013873664) at 7-5 in the MTB. Dan loved it. :big grin:
What a great crowd for doubles and not on court 1 either!!! Can't wait for Rafa's dubs match now.
I'm going to opt for recording it..Enjoy Fiona!!:)
Jamie getting into it.
Jamie Murray @jamie_murray
Doubles on 🔥 🔥 🔥 tonight on Stadium 2!! Crowd going mental for these rallies!!! @BNPPARIBASOPEN. Come on you Brits!
A great result to wake up to. Not so great to hear about Andy's discomfort though - I really hope it's just a minor niggle and nothing to worry about.
Congrats to Andy and Dan :) it seems like a number of the singles guys did well yesterday http://www.atpworldtour.com/en/news/murray-evans-nadal-tomic-indian-wells-2017-friday-doubles

A great win for Andy/Dan, wasn't building my hopes up too much! Good doubles wins for some of the top singles players, glad the Zverev Brothers also beat Kohlscreiber/Thiem 7-6, 6-4. Jerry's link coming up as a 404 error for me http://www.atpworldtour.com/en/news/murray-evans-nadal-tomic-indian-wells-2017-friday-doubles

I tried but failed to wake up for this so have just watched the full replay on Tennis TV. As others have said, a very entertaining match and all four players looked as if they were enjoying it.
I have just finished watching the replay of Andy and Evo. What a highly entertaining match that was! I managed to avoid the result so I was able to get properly excited during some of those amazing rallies. Volleying from all four players was spectacular and some of the retrievals were unbelievable! I was particularly impressed with Dan's backhand volley...very sharp. Hope he can make use of that in the singles! Very well done to our boys!! :clap::clap::clap:
What discomfort??
I didn't watch the match but those that did said that Andy was regularly shaking out his wrist and arm and appeared to be in some discomfort.

I've just watched the replay too Pat and completely agree with your summary. A great example of how entertaining doubles can be, and so good to see a full crowd - they really got their money's worth. Curious Andy about shaking his arm, though he did seem to stop doing it towards the end

Looking for a good performance from Jamie/Bruno tonight, Think little bro Andy might be fancying a QF rematch and looking to level the score after losing in Toronto a couple of years ago, still a few more wins needed before that happens tho.
Jamie and Bruno play Nestor and Roger-Vasselin after the match currently on Stadium 7. Best of luck, guys :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
3 - 3 watching this on Bet 365 (enlarged)
Lost the first set in the tb!!! 6-7 :crying:
From 4-1 up in the TB, J&B lost the next 6 points and the set. Ouch!
Second set to Jamie and Bruno - 6 - 2 :yahoo:
mtb time
How good was Jamie in the MTB, just would not miss. Well done J&B. 6-7 6-2 10-3. :clap:
I'd forgotten how torturous it is watching live score ..... and they get the win.....great result!!!:thumbup:
Jamie and Bruno get the win - well done guys :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
Bryan brothers are out....Kyrgios/Zimonjic get the win 6-4, 3-6, 10-7

This half is opening up but Nick/Zimmo are as dangerous floaters as Andy/Dan
JAMES4578
12-03-2017, 11:32
Jamie/Bruno certainly stepped up after losing close first in tough opener -well done! Bit of surprise with Kyrgios/Zimonjic putting out the Bryans but looked another possible tough draw-disappointed Bob/Mike out so early though.
Andy still planning to play doubles ...
Wouldn't want to let Dan down bless.
With him playing doubles I'm sure all is ok. He's a professional :) still hoping for that Evans/ Murray v Murray/soares match :)

Think Andy is very keen also, he has a score to settle with Big bro
Early hours of the morning (UK) for Andy & Dan.....Jamie & Bruno about 9pm (UK)( I think?)... OOP...http://www.bnpparibasopen.com/en/schedules/order-of-play/?wd=03-13-2017
Good Luck Guys!!!:thumbup::thumbup:
OK folks I was a bit late on Jamie's match...:doh:
Bet 365 have J/B's match showing as of 8pm & A/D's down for 2.30am as for Sky obviously showing A/D's but as for J/B's will have to see on "match choice" when programme starts!
Sky have just said they are showing J/B's match!:thumbup:
Have just changed to interactive and the court is there, but no sign of match officials or players
Players and officials now on court. Best of luck, Jamie and Bruno :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
Same here Jane, don't think it starts till 8 ish....OOOP'S they are there now Jane

Just watching Andy and Dan against Lopezes. Did Andy have a cough? Just wondering if that didn't help shock defeat in singles. Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere and I've not seen.
Andy & Dan lost the first set 4-6 :sad:
They are leading 3 - 1 in the second set and Andy's arm is starting to trouble him again
Yes he is shaking it again, but I can't see any strapping on it, been looking all through the match
Oh dear - they lost. Bad luck, guys .:crying: :crying:
Not to be 4-6, 3-6 :sad::sad:
It wasn't the quality of tennis of their first match with both being broken in each set (Dan DF'd at SP in the first set having saved 3SPs from 0-40) and Roger/Tecau were more consistent and deserved the win 6-4 6-3. In the second set Andy was repeatedly making a limp-wristed smashing gesture towards his box, what was that all about? ;)
Now Andy can get out of Dodge. :no worries:
So that was why Jamie D was smiling at Andy ;)

Didn't see the match. Suppose the upside is Andy can now go on to Miami.
I'm not sorry that they're out quite honestly. Now Andy can put Indian Wells behind him and move on.
Now we know what Andy means by his "limp-wristed smash" signal to his box. It's his serve and it's rank and nobody is going home until it's not. ;)
Ben Rothenberg @BenRothenberg
It's after 10 pm on a Monday night and #1 Andy Murray is out hitting serves on an empty stadium. Championly stuff.

It's a pity Mr Lendl couldn't make his way to Indian Wells as he does owe Andy a week having got away early from Australia. :p

14-03-2017, 09:47
I noticed the shaking arm too. no strapping imo
JAMES4578
14-03-2017, 14:00
Whilst another match might've been good for Andy and Dan, no biggie to concentrate on Miami and hopefully Murray's serve will be in the groove. Overnight Djokovic/Troicki put out Herbert/Mahut 11-9 on mtb, Nadal/Tomic though lost out 11-9 in decider to Klassen/Ram after taking first. Kontinen/Peers were fairly routine 6-3,6-4 over the Zverev brothers.

Super for Jamie and Bruno :) hopefully the title will be theirs and the end of the week
Jamie and Bruno play Kubot and Melo in a few minutes. All the very best of luck, guys :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
A perfect lob from Bruno and they get an early break.

Be nice to break here at 5-4 to avoid a MTB
JAMES4578
18-03-2017, 00:47
Looked like had good chance to break back but lose 2nd 7-5, came back from 2-5 to 5 all in MTB -come on!
Sadly, Jamie and Bruno lost :crying: :crying:
Thought they had this match.....:sad::sad::sad:
How did J&B lose that match? They were cruising, up a set and serving at 4-2 30-15 and Jamie netted a straightforward FH and then the errors started coming. Tough loss.
JAMES4578
18-03-2017, 00:56
Error from Bruno at 5-6 and unfortunately couldn't find way back from there-one that turned round quickly, a bit gutting but still a fairly good run.
Oh dear - that really was one that got away.:facepalm:
Makes me smile but Sky have gone from using world feed commentators for Andy's match against Pospisil to interviewing Lukasz Kubot live on court after a doubles match. :shrug: :big grin:
roytennisfan
18-03-2017, 09:17
Real shame for Jamie and Bruno, they really do need to get that atp1000 win. Also they still remain, over 1,000 points behind the 3 pairs in front of them.Let's hope they can do it in Miami, no points to defend there.
lovetennis
18-03-2017, 09:52
They'll be disappointed with that one, very tough to have been a set and a break up and then lose. Got to say I really dislike MTBs
