Jamie & Bruno play on court 14 at about 5.35am (UK)
First set to the Americans - 5 - 7
Brilliant - Jamie and Bruno get the win. Well done, guys :yahoo::yahoo::yahoo::yahoo::yahoo:
What a great match. Well done J&B as that was tough. :clap: I feared for Bruno if they hadn't won as Jamie was aggressively hyped especially in the third set. ;) Since when did Jamie start serving from a metre behind the baseline? At least he's not going to be foot faulted.
Tiafoe's a character, going to enjoy watching him in the future. :thumbup:
A good stiff opening test for J&B. Good match and Tiafoe in particular was very good. How lovely to have proper scoring. There was a hard fought 7th game in the final set with lots of deuces which made it so much more tense and exciting. And which gave J&B their break. It obviously meant a lot to Jamie to get the W. He turned to the crowd afterwards and let out a big roar. Well done boys. :clap::clap::clap:.
Great to see Jamie and Bruno getting the win though it was by no means smooth sailing. Well done guys :)
Well done to Jamie and Bruno, also to Daniell and Inglot.

Certainly a surprise and pity for Henri and John, does open up draw though.
Jamie and Bruno are due on court 2 against Paes and Raja at midnight. Best of luck, guys :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
Lost the first set 6 - 7 in the tb:crying:
Second set to Jamie and Bruno 7 - 5 :yahoo:

Tough game to clinch it but Jamie/Bruno take 2nd 7-5, come on!
Lost it on the tiebreak. I hate tiebreaks:-(

Certainly tight but unfortunately Jamie/Bruno go down 8-6 in 3rd set breaker to Paes/Raja, too bad! Hoped for a good run here but not to be :sad:
Unbelievable 3 points by Raja from MP down in the TB to win the match but Bruno had a mid court ball which he should have done better with on their MP. That's a tough loss but the portly pair of Paes & Raja did create more chances. Great match. Raja's an unheralded legend.
I know Paes is a very good doubles player, but he is beatable and Jamie and Bruno should have done better.
Dom Inglot & Marcus Daniell are through to the 3rd round after beating Paire/Nys 6-4 6-2. Paire had a stomach muscle injury and was only able to serve underarm but didn't want to let his partner down. They play Podlipnik-Castillo/Vasilevski next who beat Herbert/Mahut(4).
Unsurprisingly, Kyrgios/Reid have withdrawn from the doubles.
Great scenes as Groth in his last tournament and the "retired" Hewitt beat Rojer/Tecau(3) 7-5 in the third set.

Fab for Groth and Hewitt, well done!
Aw J & B, what's to say? That was the tightest of tight matches. I do think J&B missed some chances in the first set especially when Jamie was serving for it, and the final set TB was so tense. Pity J&B couldn't have pulled it off. I have not seen Paes so animated and pumped up as he was in this match. It was quite funny how he pushed and shoved (in an encouraging way) Raja around until finally Raja was so pumped up too he was leaping for joy all over the place. It's a pity it was at the expense of our boys.
Disappointing. I hope they stick it out through this sticky spell - I'm sure things will get better.
Jamie and Chan's mixed doubles has just started Good luck, guys :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
Eurosport have just started showing the match!!:thumbup:
Lost the first set 4 - 6 :crying:

Breaks exchanged in 2nd but Jamie/Chan up 5-4, come on!
One set all (7-5) - mtb time
JAMES4578
21-01-2018, 01:28
Make move at vital time, come on Jamie/Chan!
Jamie and Latisha get the win (11 -9) in mtb - well done :yahoo::yahoo:
Brilliant win!! Enjoyed that match!!:thumbup::thumbup:

Gutsy win as they looked in trouble at times, well done Jamie/Latisha!:clap::clap:
The Great Escape! Forget equal prize money, Jamie should give his share to Chan who carried him to victory. ;) Maybe he was suffering after yesterday's tough loss but he didn't look sharp. Thankfully he came through in the MTB. :thumbup:
Looking at a replay of the final point I think Jamie said "you were awesome" to his partner. Truth.

I enjoyed the match but was a little concerned about Jamie.
Neither Jamie nor Bruno seem to be on top form at the moment. Hopefully, playing the mixed will help them both find their mojo sooner rather than later!
Bruno was a guest on BBC5LiveXtra yesterday and have to think that Jamie was also scheduled to appear but was still suffering after their tough loss. What a contrast to Bruno who says he takes 15 seconds to get over a defeat, "at the end of the day, it's just a game". Great partner to have. :thumbup: Short extract of his interview (https://twitter.com/alcalejon/status/954637056545906688).
Jamie is a Murray - it will inevitably take him longer to recover!
Jamie and Latitia are fourth on Court 2 on Monday. All the best of luck to them :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
Jamie and Latisha are currently in a first set tie break having come from 5-2 down.

Now down in the TB
Back on serve from 5-2 down, now 8-7* up.
Lost the next 3 points... 1 set down.

And unfortunately lost the match
Just found out about Chan and Murray losing in straight sets. If Hingis hadn't retired, I expect they would have won it.
Dom Inglot and Marcus Daniell won their match and are now into the quarter-finals. Well done.
They'll play Marach and Pavic in the quarters.

A good straight set win for Dom and Daniell
Just found out about Chan and Murray losing in straight sets. If Hingis hadn't retired, I expect they would have won it.
I'm not so sure about that. I don't think Jamie is playing well - Chan was certainly the stronger player in their last match.

Certainly disappointing for Jamie/Chan-looked like they'd turned 1st around but weren't able to capitalise and couldn't break through in 2nd. Wasn't too confident after last match though with Jamie not really in the best of form. May have done better with Hingis but would've still been challenging to repeat earlier success. Great for Dom/Marcus, well done!

Watching Jamie he's obviously not on form at the moment which makes me sad. Hope he recovers for the Davis Cup.
Dom Inglot has a mention in The Times today, which is nice.
“In addition to Kyle Edmund’s exploits at the Australian Open, there will be another quarter-final appearance for British tennis fans to celebrate; Dominic Inglot, the 31-year-old from Chiswick, in the men’s doubles.
Inglot and Marcus Daniell, from New Zealand, reached the last eight with a 6-4, 6-3 victory against Hans Podlipnik-Castillo, from Chile, and Andrei Vasilevski, from Belarus. It is the first time that Inglot has reached this stage of a grand-slam since the 2015 US Open.
The win should bring a sense of satisfaction for Inglot, who is No 54 in the doubles world rankings. He has failed to hold down a regular partner in the doubles circuit, playing with 19 players in the past two seasons.

Dom is on third tomorrow, not before 3.30 on Margaret Court, guessing not many will be watching live, hope they can do it
Dom and Marcus have just levelled the match at one set all in a tight tiebreak 12:10. Come on lads.
A 3rd set tie-break will settle it.
2 match points for Marach/Pavic, one saved...
But not the second.

Pity, but at least Dom got to the quarters and went out fighting, not bad for a scratch pair
Woke up for this. Very disappointing for them, but it was always going to be a tough ask. Taking it to 3 sets was good.

Playing in Rio this coming week. There was a picture of Jamie in Rio a couple of days ago on Facebook.
