Shame that 2 Brit pairs are drawn to play each other in the first round!

[Hawkeye]

Jamie & Bruno are first up on Court 8 tomorrow.

[Hawkeye]

1 set all. Jamie and Bruno served first in the decider and held.

[Hawkeye]

Now 4-4.

[exislander]

Skupskis won 6-1 6-2

[Hawkeye]

Now 6-6 in the decider...

Their partnership could end after this tie break...

[Jane]

mtb - :sofa: Come on guys :thumbup::thumbup:

[Jan]

:sofa:

[Hawkeye]

I think it's a standard tie break.

J&B a mini break down.

[Hawkeye]

And it's a short run at Roland Garros, and a sad way to end.

[Jane]

They lost!!! :crying::crying:

Gutted for them

[Jan]

:sad::sad:

[Teresa]

I imagine neither of their hearts were in it. Still sad though. All the very best to both of them in the future.

[JAMES4578]

sad way for it to end and most disappointing, however hopefully they can do well in their new partnerships.

[Teresa]

I imagine neither of their hearts were in it. Still sad though. All the very best to both of them in the future.

[karanga]

:sad: :sad: Good luck to Jamie and Bruno in their new partnerships.

[Jane]

Dan and Cameron due on court 11 against Johnson and Kudla. Best of luck, guys:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

They are on Eurosport Player and Bet365

[Jane]

Lost the first set 4 - 6 :crying:

[Jane]

One set all :GBflag:

[Sallydaisy]

GBR with a break of serve, Dan serving at *4-2, 30-0, 30-15, 40-15, 40-30 ...

... and 5-2 in the 3rd set for the British pair. Another break of serve would be well handy!
:GBflag:

[Jane]

Dan and Cam get the win - very well done 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 :GBflag: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

[exislander]

CamDan win ! Well done lads!

[Sallydaisy]

:yahoo::yahoo::yahoo:

Evans/Norrie d Johnson/Kudla 4'6, 6'4, 6'3 to advance to R2 of the Mens Doubles.
Be great if they could go another couple of rounds and bank some dosh!

[Teresa]

Brilliant. That’s given them 11.500 Euros each, plus 46,000 for First Round loses. Well worth a trip to Paris. 14 Seeds Haase and Nielsen next.

Now that could be a tricky R2 matchup; Nielsen being a former Wimbledon doubles champion ...
:whistle:

[Teresa]

Now that could be a tricky R2 matchup; Nielsen being a former Wimbledon doubles champion ...
:whistle:

Probably will be, but neither of them have anything to lose. Hasn’t Nielsen been knocking around on the Challenger Doubles Circuit?

[patlowe]

Delighted for Dan and Cam. Great result. Hope it will cheer Cam up too after yesterday. At least one more match. Can't be bad. :clap::clap:

[Alis]

Is Jamie playing in the Mixed?

[goldfish]

Is Jamie playing in the Mixed?

No :-(

[exislander]

Cam and Dan take set 1 6-2 from Haase/Nielsen! Keep going guys!

[Jane]

Cam and Dan get the first set 6 - 2 against Haase and Nielsen :clap:

[Jane]

Lost the second set 2 - 6:crying: …….Come on guys :thumbup:

[exislander]

Lost 3rd set 3-6. Dan fell midway through, did not get up immediately - knee?- but seems to be ok.

[Hawkeye]

Lost in 3, but a good effort!

[Jane]

They lost (3-6) in the third set:crying: , but put up a good fight and seemed to be enjoying themselves

[Hawkeye]

The Skupskis have just started against the Bryans.

[exislander]

Bryans won 7-5 7-6. Ram/Salisbury through by opponents retiring.

[themass15]

At least we have one Brit left. Let's hope Dan is good to play in Surbiton next week. Have a ticket for the semis although weather forecast doesn't look too clever

[JAMES4578]

At least fiarly tight, hopefully Ram/salisbury go further.

[Hawkeye]

Ram and Salisbury have taken the first set in their 2nd round match.

[exislander]

Lost set 2 tiebreak.

[exislander]

They take the 3rd set 7-5!

[Hawkeye]

Dom the Bomb and Martin Klizan are last up on Court 7 against a pair of pies, eh, sorry, Paire and Paes.

[Hawkeye]

Dom up on Live Scores.

[Sallydaisy]

1st set to Paes/Paire ... 6'4

[exislander]

And the 2nd 6-4 to Paes/Paire :sad:

[Teresa]

Ram and Salisbury have just taken out Kontinen and Peers in 3 sets. Into the QF to play Chardy and Martin.

[Sallydaisy]

Salisbury/Ram d Kontinen/Peers 3'6, 6'3, 7'6.
In the Quarter Finals they'll play French pair Chardy/Martin.

[Jan]

Great news!

[Hawkeye]

Joe Salisbury and Rajeev Ram on court now against Chardy and Martin in the quarters.

[Sallydaisy]

The French took the first set 6'4. 3-3 in the 2nd.
Allez Joe and Rajeev!

[Jan]

The guys saved 2 MPs. Now into a TB.

[Hawkeye]

2nd set TB.

[Hawkeye]

Which they lost.

[Jan]

:sad:
They were up a mini break in the TB too.

[JAMES4578]

Pity but tight in 2nd!
