View Full Version : US OPEN 2017 - Doubles & Mixed Doubles
Men's doubles draw (http://www.usopen.org/en_US/scores/draws/2017_MD_draw.pdf).
J&B are 4th seeds and in Kontinen/Peers(1) half of the draw. A tough first round against Knowle/Peya. Dom Inglot & Nestor play Elgin/Medvedev with the winners likely to play the top seeds. Neal Skupski is fresh from winning 2 challenger titles with different partners (not his bro) and plays with another partner, Duran from Argentina. They have the toughest draw against 2nd seeds Melo/Kubot.
Women's doubles draw (http://www.usopen.org/en_US/scores/draws/2017_WD_draw.pdf).
Naomi Broady/Durak v Bartel/Witthoeft, Heather Watson/McHale v Safarova/Strycova(3) & Anne Smith/Melichar v Lisicki/Atawo
Mixed doubles draw (http://www.usopen.org/en_US/scores/draws/2017_XD_draw.pdf).
Jamie & Martina Hingis are top seeds and play Groenfeld/Lindstedt in the first round. Heather Watson & Kontinen are unseeded and play Dabrowski/Bopanna(7).
I think Jamie Murray will be the last Brit left. I wouldn't be surprised if it would be for the mixed doubles again.

Hopefully good run for Jamie with both Bruno and Martina,though not the easiest of 1st round draws. Most of the other Brits have it tough,though Henri/Heather can cause upsets.
I really don't understand why Henri and Heather are not seeded in the mixed. Given that the mixed doubles teams play so rarely together, I would have thought that H&H would have proven their worth enough at the last two Wimbledons to have merited some sort of seeding.
Have to agree Alis!
Jamie & Bruno second on Court 6 play starts at 4pm (UK)
Jamie & Martina last on Court 6... Good Luck to All!!!

The seedings are based on doubles ranking. So neither are seeded highly enough. Mixed doubles is not played enough to have a separate seeding from men's or women's doubles.
All the best of luck to all of them :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
Naomi Broady, Dom Inglot, Neal Skupski & Anna Smith all on today's schedule and looks like all on televised courts except Naomi.
Jamie and Bruno have won the first set 6-4. On serve in the second set 2-1
Skupski/Duran pushed the seconds seeds close losing in 3 sets. They were down a break at 2-4 in the third, then broke back having been 0-40 only to lose the next 8 points and the match.
Jamie and Bruno just won their match on the second set tie break. Well done J&B - onwards and upwards!!
At 2-5 down in the TB it looked like going to a third set. A great 2nd serve from Jamie at set point down. Good win.
Well done, guys :yahoo: :yahoo:
Kyrgios/Reid beat Struff/Sousa in 3 sets and Nick unrecognisable from yesterday. Full of fun, energy, tricks and just loving his time on court. Great to watch.
JAMES4578

Good win for Jamie/Bruno,done well to avoid 3rd set though-comfortable with Martina in the mixed too! Glad for Kygrios/Reid as well!
Jamie & Martina won their match 6-1, 6-4 :thumbup:
Well Dome Jamie, Bruno & Martina!!!:thumbup:

No 2 seeds Kubot and Melo beaten!
JAMES4578

Bit of a surprise though Benneteau/Roger Vasselin good pair.
Ken Skupski with John Millman got into the draw as alternates (possibly as a result of Pospisil/Zimonjic late withdrawal) and are currently a set and 3-2 up with a break against Molteni/Shamasdin.
Excellent win for Skupski/Millman. Nice embrace between Ken & John at the end and also with Shamasdin & Ken. I wonder if this a last hurrah for Ken who it has to be said does look a little chunky.
Only mixed for Jamie today (fourth on court 5) and for Heather Watson (second on Court 11).
All the best of luck to Jamie and Martina :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
Heather and Henri lost the first set 4 - 6

Gutting for Henri/Heather, so tight though!
Wimbledon is the only slam and indeed the only mixed doubles tournament which uses the traditional scoring. Long may it continue.
Kyrgios/Reid still having fun just not nearly as much as they are whipped 1-6 1-6 by the Bryans. Nick feeling his shoulder throughout.
First set to Jamie and Martina 6 - 0 :dance:
Players leaving court - rain delay :rain:
Jamie really sharp at the net this evening. Very entertaining match.
JAMES4578
03-09-2017, 10:54
Just cruised through first, real pity about rain-though were break down in 2nd but hopefully not decisive.
K.Skupski/Millman v Lindstedt/Thomoson is first on court 17 followed by J&B v Daniell/Demoliner on the same court. Jamie with Martina are 5th on Court 17 to complete their match.

Lindstedt/Thompson beat Skupski/Millman 7-6(4) 6-1.

Unfortunately Jamie/Martina lose 2nd 6-4 and into ctb. Currently 3-2, come on! phew tight but Murray/Hingis got the win 11-9 over Pescke/Demoliner in the end,well done!:cheer::cheer:
Phew! That was close! But well done Jamie and Martina. Been a good day for Jamie.
Martina saved Jamie's bacon big time. He double-faulted at 8-8 and Martina managed to return Demoliner's serve on MP. :phew: 6-0 4-6 11-9.
Jamie and Martina get the win 11-9 in the mtb Well done :dance: :dance:
J&B are fourth and last on Armstrong tomorrow against Lindstedt/Thompson.
Jamie & Martina play Spears/Cabal in the QF but it's not on tomorrow's schedule.
It would be brilliant if Jamie Murray made it to both finals.
Wishing Jamie and Bruno all the best of luck :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Brilliant J &B!! Good win. I thought Bruno New Hair was very sharp tonight. Roger and Tecau next.
JAMES4578
04-09-2017, 22:30
Glad it was fairly comfortable win, great stuff guys!
Another straight sets win. They play 12th seeds Roger/Tecau in the QF.
After each match win or lose, Bruno gives his opponents the warmest embrace. He's such a popular guy, Jamie chose well.
Well done Jamie and Bruno. :clap: :clap:
Well done, guyx....:yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
Jamie and Bruno still haven't dropped a set. They're second on the Grandstand court, today, against Rojer and Tecau. Murray and Hingis are last on the Louis Armstrong court against Spears and Cabal.

Come on lads. There's no need to conserve your energies for the mixed!

They lost - gutted for them :crying: :crying:
JAMES4578
05-09-2017, 18:15
Very disappointing as Jamie/Bruno go down 6-1,6-2 to the 12th seeds Rojer/Tecau. Can be a tough pair but certainly would never have envisaged such a drubbing!
Real shame, they just seem to have these poor matches.
A very flat performance from J&B but to be fair to Rojer/Tecau, they hardly missed a ball and apart from the first game of the match, they weren't really threatened on serve.

05-09-2017, 18:27
Oh dear, nothing was working today for Jamie & Bruno. Hope they can pull it together for their mixed dubs matches later
That's too bad. J & B never really seemed to get going. Perhaps they weren't allowed to?
First set to Jamie and Martina 6-3 :dance:

Jamie/Martina done well in first but 2nd going quickly against them at 0-5 down, another mtb seems inevitable- come on!

Jamie/Martina finally take it 6-3, 2-6, 10-8. A bit of a tense one again but through to semis, well done!:clap::clap:
Well done Jamie and Martina - touch and go there for a while!:dance:
Difficult to say the better team won but somehow Jamie & Martina got through. The difference must have been Jamie replacing his black cap with a white one and taking off his glasses. ;) I'm fairly certain his return was flying out at 8-8 but thankfully Cabal decided to take a swing at it. Vandeweghe/Tecau in the SF.
Well, I really hope they manage to beat Vandweghe and partner. I have nothing against Tecau but Vandeweghe is a conceited brat (IMO)!
Phew! Glad they came through. Martina not so sharp tonight but in MTB Jamie won the points that really mattered. Nice exchange at the net afterwards esp when Cabal wished them good luck for their next match.
Poor Bruno - just not his day!

A win is a win, a tough match for Jamie probably just what the doctor ordered after the trouncing he and Bruno took earlier
Very watchable match between Lopez x 2 & Bryan x 2. 1 set all now.
Lopez x2 were two breaks up but the Bryans got one break back. They then had two match points on the Bryan serve but didn't convert - Feli now serving for the match. C'mon Feli!!!!
That's it - they did it!!! Well done Lopez and Lopez - what a come back. Marc Lopez is a little dynamo.:dance::dance::dance:
JAMES4578
07-09-2017, 20:42
Entertaining doubles semi, in the Bryans camp but Marc and Feli a bit stronger in the end. Bob/Mike had the early momentum but couldn't quite sustain it ,whilst the spaniards improved as the match developed, crucial that they went 2 breaks up in the 3rd though.
Got to admit that Lopez & Lopez are a very strong & entertaining doubles pair!:thumbup:
I don't care who wins the final but, with those two pairings, it should be a very entertaining match.

Jamie and Martina are third on the Grandstand court today.
Great that Rojer/Tecau won the doubles final and gave the matadors a whipping 6-4 6-3. Rojer wearing a shirt with the Statue of Liberty on it and when asked about it said it was to mark the events in Charlottesville and he wanted to promote "peace, freedom, and liberty". He also said "I've been here since I'm 12 years old, it's a great country and I'm happy that they let me in and I got to do my job here. Hopefully we will create those opportunities for everybody." I'm sure it wasn't the answer Tom Rinaldi was expecting but great words from Jules. :clap:

Controversy in the women's doubles SF. Hardecka not owning up to the ball hitting her hair and not helped when the replay is shown in the stadium after the umpire had given the score. At the end of the match, Strycova said to Hardecka "you're a pig...******* ********"!

It certainly became a contest and great entertainment, whilst Jamie/Martina probaby should've clinched it in 2 showed their class in that tight breaker, well done! Can't say I'm great fan of the format for slams (only Wimbledon have full 3rd set for the mixed) but Murray/Hingis did get through 3 mtb's and handled pressure well. Fabulous winning 2 slams :clap::clap::clap: pity Jamie didn't get past quarters in Men's Doubles slams this season but hopefully will have better runs next year and in total has won 4 slams over past 2 years.

Thanks. He didn't explain the logo on his shorts though! Does anyone know why that logo is on either side of the net?
I think JJ Rojer is too young to know it as the "Ban the Bomb" symbol and called it the Peace symbol which it's become known. As well as having it on his shorts, he did put on a jacket with a large peace symbol on the back but took it off before the presentation. The similar looking symbol on the net is the Mercedes-Benz logo. ;)
Ah! Thank you for that, Bardot. I'm obviously showing my age with the Peace symbol but it was the Mercedes-Benz logo that was puzzling me.
