Doubles usually start on Day 2 or 3 but it depends (a) on weather and (b) the fact it's a combined WTA/ATP event and there's a lot to fit in.

Fabbiano (ITA) d De Schepper (FRA)
Londero (ARG) d Andreozzi (ARG)

When I setting up FTM for Eastbourne for Andy I was like am I looking at Queens draw by mistake for 1st round?.....close PDF and check website again and open PDF and yes same 1st round! Haha. Oh dear. Hopefully he beat them again.
James Ward has just beaten G Harris Ranked 87 into the second round. Kudla Ranked 79 next.

In QR2 James Ward plays Denis Kudla (per Teresa above) and Paul Jubb plays Andrey Rublev for places in the main draw in Eastbourne.
Andy loves a good challenge! Cabal/ Farah had better look out! :knight:
I posted this on 15 June when the Queens draw came out. Still applies!

Hope Londero the Argentinian makes it to the main draw
Nice wins for Wardy and Jubb.

Paul Jubb into a 3rd set in FQR at Eastbourne but he leads 3-1.
Score so far for Jubb: 4-6, 6-3, 4-1 and he's about to serve again with 2 breaks to the good.
Sallydaisy
23-06-2019, 11:59
Paul held for 5-1, Rublev held for 5-2 and now Rublev has 3 break points on the Jubb serve at *0-40.
:sofa:
s'OK. DEUCE ...
Sallydaisy
23-06-2019, 12:02
Paul Jubb qualifies for the Eastbourne main draw with a 4'6, 6'3, 6'2 win over Rublev.

I'm away from Friday....I don't want to miss any Andy matches!
Jamie is not playing Eastbourne, Neil is back with his brother?
I see Andy's partner for next week, Melo, playing this week in Halle with Kubot, also reached the final today! They didn't win but still lookin' good.

That's interesting - I wonder why???

That's interesting - I wonder why???
Maybe they'd already committed to the tournament before Jamie and Neal decided to 'try out' their partnership. All sorts of reasons potentially; none sinister I doubt.
;)

I would have expected them to get as much practice together as possible before Wimbledon. It seems very odd to me.

That's exactly what I heard one of the commies at Queens say Sally. That Neil and Ken were already signed up for Eastbourne before Jamie parted ways with Bruno and teamed up with Neil. So rather than have a scratch partnership at Eastbourne it looks like Jamie is having this week off.
Andy will be in action tomorrow according to commies at amazon prime.
Am wondering why Cameron Norrie's match is so delayed

Jane, there has been a revised OOP(rain) but they have just said on Amazon, Cam is playing after the Jubb & Fritz match!

Dan/Lloyd have won their doubles against Luke/Jonny. Next opponents are the winners of Andy's match.
Am wondering why Cameron Norrie's match is so delayed
Jane they are waiting for a ladies match to finish before Cam gets on court!
It will probably be raining by then :rolleyes: :rain:
Ladies match is finished. So it's Cam time. And of course BBC goes off the air :grrr:

Andy on tomorrow, not before 4 pm.
Eurosport also covering WTA Eastbourne, Tennis TV also for ATP Eastbourne and Antalya. Normally the ATP don't provide streams for the doubles at 250 and 500 events, so I'm wondering will we be able to watch any doubles from Eastbourne?:nailbiter:

Prime says action tomorrow on Centre Court so I had assumed that meant all matches on there including Andy in doubles? Fingers crossed.

Lots of Brits playing today!

Lopez withdrew - replaced by Kudla - to play Herbert and winner plays winner of Dan's match.
Dan looked like he was in a bit of a grump at the start. He looked tired. However he is waking up now. A set and a break up.
I think López has had plenty of grass court practice before Wimbledon.....!!!
Dan gets the win - 7-6, 6-2 - well done:yahoo::yahoo::yahoo:
A good victory for Dan, against a higher ranked player. 7(7)6(2), 6:2. Well done Dan.
Get in Dan! Great win. Onwards and upwards! :clap::clap:
Well done Dan :superman:
Jay into a decider...
Cameron now - warming up. :thumbup:
Cameron gets the first set 6- 3 :thumbup:
Ward is in a merciless mood. 4:1 up in 17 minutes.
James gets the first set 6-2:thumbup:
Cam has beaten Chardy :cheer:
Excellent win for Cameron:cheer::cheer::cheer:

Up The Brits!..... Come On James!!!!
Delighted for Cam. And Wardy is a set up too. :clap::clap:
Ward lost in 3. Not quite sure what happened there:-(
Such a shame James lost, he just let it slip away brilliant in the first set which he won but just didn't seem to fight back in second & third & he is such a good player

Good win for Dan, just pity James could not quite maintain the form but some positive signs.

I liked the camera angle on Prime whilst watching Dan yesterday but had to mute the sound, I found it so annoying that the commentator kept on talking during the playing of points!
Another break for Dan to make it a double break and the first set against Herbert.
Dan wins in two sets - well done:dance::dance::dance:

Brilliant Dan! Now Herbert can go practice with Andy!

That’s just what was crossing my mind. I felt a bit bad, then thought stuff it. Yesterday’s match showed Doubles Pairings need to practice together. Not too mention Dan still has a Doubles match to play.

Major delay in the Kyle-Cam match due to 3 spectator incidents of illness. Kyle is up 5-2 with Cam to serve next.
Play has been suspended for more than 25 minutes because someone in he crowd is unwell!!! Where is the ambulance??

Comms have said 3 incidents - players now left court. Spectators were asked to keep all exits clear for paramedics. I would guess at least one must be seriously ill. Hope they will be ok.

Yes - I heard and saw all that, but thought I had missed something - hope all will be ok.
Amazon are showing the rerun of Dan. It’s so great to see him taking it seriously at last and caring about whether he wins or loses. I really want to see him get an ATP title, as well as overtake Kyle.

Kyle wins 6-2 6-2. Dan next!
Dan/Lloyd are currently 4-2 against Cabal/Farah!

They take the set 6-4! Wish this was streamed.
JAMES4578
26-06-2019, 18:38
Pity about the incidents, suppose no option but to halt play. Cameron never really got going but Kyle was quite impressive, good win for Dan earlier and another all Brit encounter . Looks like good play from Evans/Glasspool though Cabal/Farah take 2nd 6-3 and have just taken mtb 10-8. Not to be but gave the top seeds a real battle.
exislander
26-06-2019, 18:43
Cabal/Farah take 2nd set with 2 breaks to 1. Come on Dan/Lloyd!
Cabal/Farah take it 10-8. Good try by Dan/Lloyd.
Absolutely first class stuff from Dan (again) today. Great win. :clap::clap: Moves a few more steps up the rankings. All I want to say about the Dan/Kyle match is GO DAN!:superman:
Also, in the doubles, Dan and Lloyd gave the #1 seeds a good run for their money today. Cabal and Farah will not want to be drawn against any more Brits! And I agree...it's such a shame more doubles aren't televised.
Well Done Sam Querrey beat Verdasco 7-6, 6-2,!!!
exislander
27-06-2019, 15:48
Kyle and Dan warming up. Kyle to serve first.
Dan takes the first set 6-1 :cheer::cheer:
Shame so close. 1-6 63 64
Sallydaisy
27-06-2019, 18:02
Missed seeing the last couple of games, presume Dan was broken at 4-5 when he was serving to stay in the match? He must be gutted that he wasn't able to come through so I hope he has a good couple of rounds at Wimbledon!
Very sad, and very grumpy about the result. Wanted Dan to win. Stamps foot, and stalks off in a huff.............
Why is everyone so anti-Kyle? I really didn't mind who won - at least we have a Brit in the semis!
Indeed. Would have loved both of them to win!
Despite having 5 set points, Kyle lost the first set on a TB.
JAMES4578
28-06-2019, 16:45
A tight set but Kyle not making most of opportunities, can hopefully take it to decider. As to semi I was happy enough with Edumund taking it and was great fightback, though Dan put a lot into it and would have been tough loss. Not looking good now though with Fritz up break in 2nd and Kyle failed to capitalise on 0-40 at 0-2.
Kyle loses in straight sets.

Kyle loses in straight sets.
And apparently he should have won the first set
JAMES4578
28-06-2019, 18:05
Disappointing but Kyle did not take chances, commentators saying he would have won first set had he challenged in breaker at 7-6. At least got a few matches this week.

Impressive from Fritz, well done! Fritz meets former finalist Thomas Berdych in the 1st round at Wimbledon, Berdych now ranked 112-though has not played since Indian Wells due to ongoing back problem.
Glad Taylor Fritz won today. He's still very young (21), but has been married forever, well since 2016. He is the son of Kathy May. Remember her?
