First set 6'4 to Mureau!
2nd serve Ace from Julien sealed the set nicely.

[hfwardhouse]

[Sallydaisy]

Serving at *1-2 and a DF from Jamie sets up Death Deuce (DD) ...

And they're broken ...
:sad:

[Sallydaisy]

C&M take the 2nd set 6'3.

[Pam]

Oh dear they lost 6'4 3'6 5'10.

That's sad :sad:

[hfwardhouse]

Oh no :( that's not the news I wanted to come back to :crying:

[patmoren]

What a shame, looking at their stats seems to have been very difficult to break serve, not many chances on either side. Back to the drawing board.

[supergran]

Oh...what a shame. Didn't expect that result.:sad:

[xenon21]

argh! So gutted about that! I guess sometimes it's hard to play with different players so often :(

Apparantly Jamie had quite a few points to defend too :(

[Linda]

Sorry to hear they lost :sad:

[JAMES4578]

yes really disappointing, though again it was another tight one:crying:

[MurrayAOne]

Hard luck Jamie and julien! Will be rooting for you next time!

[Sallydaisy]

Fleming/Hutchins have just started their match against Bogomolov/Dlouhy.

Not a good start Bogy broke them in the first game.
Come on Flins!!!
:swingin:

[Sallydaisy]

Oh dear, a hold by Bogy and another break put them 3-0 up.
Flins broke back for *1-3 but are in danger of being broken again!

They held on ... 2-3
And break for 3-3, and hold for 4-3, 4-4, 5-4.

Bogy serving to stay in the first set.
Good recovery from Flins - can they make it pay?

[Sallydaisy]

Much better from Colin and Ross.
Took the first set 6'4 and they're ahead 3-0 in the 2nd with 2 service breaks under their belt.
:)

[FoxyFi]

Yeah, Colin and Ross win 7-6 6-2, well done
