[HoopGirl]

Hope Jamie has benefited from some time at home - he’s sounded like he’s struggling with the COVID restrictions and how much time he’s been away from home because of it. Hope it perks his form up

[themass15]

Good line up in the doubles

[Sallydaisy]

Dan Evans/Jonny O'Mara about to start their R1 doubles against Feli Lopez/Jannick Sinner.
It's being shown on Amazon Prime, not sure if it'll appear on BBC Red Button. BBC2 is currently following Shapovalov v Vukic but transmission ends in 5 mins and will switch to Red Button.

[Sallydaisy]

Lopez/Sinner d Evans/O'Mara by 7-6(8) 6-2

[JAMES4578]

The first set proved crucial, Lopez/Sinner proving tough.

[banskogirl]

The first set proved crucial, Lopez/Sinner proving tough.

It was a very engaging set of tennis!

[exislander]

Bambridge/Inglot beaten 6-4 6-4

Broady/Peniston have taken first set tiebreak vs Herbert/Mahut
and they lost the MTB 10-12.

[exislander]

Looks like Cam Norrie is the only British player to survive doubles today! He and de Minaur just put Joe/Rajeev out 5-7 6-1 12-10

Jamie/Bruno lost 4-6 4-6 and the Skupskis lost 7-6 6-7 2-10

[patmoren]

Very poor showing from all four doubles teams who all lost today!!

[exislander]

Very poor showing from all four doubles teams who all lost today!!

Cam still flying the flag with de Minaur

[JAMES4578]

Pity Jamie/Bruno generally not showing the best of form lately , tight losses for Jo/Rajeev and the Skupskis. However at least Norrie/De Minaur caused one of the upsets.

[themass15]

Very poor showing from all four doubles teams who all lost today!!

Agreed, what a disappointment, apart from Cam in singles and doubles

[HoopGirl]

Cam playing really well. Great to see him shine

[Sallydaisy]

Karatsev/Purcell took the first set (6'3) v Norrie/De Minaur.
Aslan might want to avenge his singles defeat by Cam earlier today.
;)

[Sallydaisy]

Norrie/De Minaur took the 2nd set 6'4 and are 3-1 up in the MTB.

[Sallydaisy]

Norrie/De Minaur took the 2nd set 6'4 and are 3-1 up in the MTB.
Cameron Norrie does the double ...
... wins Doubles QF (with De Minaur) by 3'6, 6'4, 10'6 against Karatsev/Purcell
... won Singles R2 against Karatsev to reach the QF.

[Jane]

Players on court warming up for the unfinished semi-final . Good luck Cam and Alex :thumbup: :thumbup:

[Jane]

And that's it over - Opelka and Peers win 7-6, 6-3

[JAMES4578]

Not too long on court, unfortunately could not recover frm being broken at 2-3. Doubles final in 5 minutes.

Good to see Herbert/Mahut take the title 6-4,7-5, though failed tio serve it out the first time. As usual a number did not stay to watch though!

[Big Al]

Mahut is brilliant at Queens esp in the doubles. But in 2007, if I remember without checking ,he played a classic against Roddick in singles ,or was it Nadal?

[Jane]

Mahut played Isner in 2010 when Isner won 70-68, with the match lasting more than 11 hours over three days.

[JAMES4578]

Think @Big Al is talking about Queens rather than Wimbledon, mind the match against Roddick. Mahut beat Nadal in the quarters finals in 2007 7-5,7-6 before losing the final against Roddick that year 4-6,7-6,7-6.

[Jane]

You are right, James - I am still half asleep!!:thumbup:
