Has anybody found a livestream? I clicked on some of the Livescorehunter links for this match, and got Wawrinka/Isner!

Same here Madeline. I was hoping that they might switch at 4.30 which is the time they're showing to start the videostream but it's still Isner/Wawa. Wish they'd not got our hopes up like that!!!
:sad:

[Jan]

hadn't thought of trying! will see if I can find anything.

[Jan]

no luck - and the rate they are going the match will be over before Stan's - J and C serving for first set:)

[Sallydaisy]

Colin and Jamie are off to a brilliant start.
5-1 in the first set.
:thumbup:

[Sallydaisy]

Eeek, DF from Jamie gives the oppo a break point!!!
Or a set point for our guys!

Yay!!! First set 6'1
:dance:

[Jane]

:cheer::cheer::cheer:Jamie and Colin take the first set 6 - 1.

[Pam]

Colin/Jamie have won the 1st set 6'1 :clap:

[Jan]

found you! I came back to the computer and refreshed the page and lost the posts - figured they might be in a thread all of their own!
A bit closer in the second set. Come on lads!

[Pam]

They are struggling in the 2nd set 2'5 C'mon guys!

[Sallydaisy]

Hmm, the lads aren't doing so well this set. They're serving at *2-5 to stay in it or it'll go to a CTB.

[Jane]

Hang in there guys - you can do it!!!!:thumbup:

[Hawkeye]

4-0 up in the CTB!

[Sallydaisy]

Hmm, dropped a minibreak but they've still a serve to go after the change of ends!
*4-1
*4-2

[Pam]

4'2 - keep going for it guys!!

[greatunclebulgaria]

[Jan]

*4-3
4-4* FeliFer hold
5-4* and broken! Good - now come on Colmie!!!
*6-4 better, more please!

[hfwardhouse]

Wonderful news :yahoo: :yahoo:

[davech]

Sounds like that was incredibly close! Roll on round 2!

[Linda]

Well done Jamie & Colin! :clap: :clap:

[JAMES4578]

yes it was another toughie but Jamie and Colin got there, well done!:clap::clap:

[karanga]

Well done Colin and Jamie. :clap:

[supergran]

Great news!! Well done Colin and Jamie.:clap::clap:

[Pam]

Andy and Ross have lost 1'6 3'6 - shame.

[Linda]

Sorry they lost :sad:

[Jan]

what a pity - but Andy can focues on winning the singles now ;)

[supergran]

What a shame...was hoping they would go a bit further.

[Sallydaisy]

This was always going to be a tricky match so I'm not surprised they didn't get past the seeded pair.
However, Ross will have bagged 90 points which is good for his ranking!
:thumbup:

[Sallydaisy]

Colin and Jamie's match is up on Livescore here.
No chance of any televising ...

It's a toughie for the Scottish pair - up against Bopanna/Qureshi who've qualified to play in London at the WTF.

[Sallydaisy]

Sooo, it went with serve to 4-3 but then our lads were broken (Jamie's serve). However, just when Bopeshi thought they'd serve out the set at *5-3 the McFlurry's broke back for 4-4. They're now serving to stay in the 2nd set at *4-5.

Up *40-30 then a DF from Fleming gives the other team a Death Deuce chance to break and take the set.
And they do!
:sad:

Onwards boys! It's only a one set deficit.
:pirate:

[patmoren]

Good battle by the guys took it to deuce but lost the set 6-4. Getting the measure of Indy/Paki express.

[Sallydaisy]

2nd set and Bopeshi hold for 1-0.

2-2 and still on serve ..... but the lads have a break point chance on the Bopshi serve.
3-2 missed the chance.

[patmoren]

Break point at 2-2 but couldn't convert

[patmoren]

Jamie throwing it away with the double faults. broken to 4-2

[patmoren]

The beginning of the end 2-5 serving to stay in the match.

[Sallydaisy]

:crying:
That's that then. Bopshi win 6'4, 6'3.
The DF's at crucial moments didn't help our lads at all I'm afraid.
They get 90 points apiece for their efforts in reaching the QF's.

[patmoren]

Colin and Jamie lose 6-4, 6-3, far too many double faults, could have done better as they had the upper hand at times.

[JAMES4578]

Disappointing they couldn't take the chances, even if against a quality team. Looks like they performed better than Andy/Ross yesterday though.

[supergran]

Sad they lost. Do hope for better things to come. The double faults are a worry.

[Sallydaisy]

I'm wanting Butorac/Rojer to win this match against Llodra/Zim so they can get into the WTF.

They're into aCTB and were serving at 3-4 but dropped 2 serves so the #1 seeds are now on 5'4 and serving...

Argh. 3 match points against them.

[RoastLamb]

Bryans went out. :shocked:

My boys still hanging in there by a thread.

[Linda]

Sad to see that Jamie & Colin lost :sad:

[xenon21]

Gutted that Booty and Rojer lost :( They are first alternates for world tour finals
