Blimey - this is a very strong Doubles field for a 250.
Colin and Ross have a winnable R1 match; after that it's pretty tough.

Went to see Mission Impossible 4 at the worlds biggest IMAX screen here in Sydney yesterday. Pricey but a phenomenal viewing experience.
and from British Tennis (LTA):
Good win for @Colin_Fleming (https://twitter.com/#!/Colin_Fleming) & @RoscoHutchins (https://twitter.com/#!/RoscoHutchins) who won 3&3 v Kubot & Granollers. Check out the boys interviewing skills

Really been struggling to find any info on this, but if I'm interpreting the badly-presented information on livescore correctly, I think they just won 6-1 6-2 :clap:

Good win for them, have had difficulty finding any info about this one.

A tough assignment but let's hope they can take it to them!
The Bryans have proved recently that they are definitely beatable!
Well done Colin & Ross - and good luck for tonight - I think I'll change my avatar back to the Colin & Ross one :big grin:

First on for Rosco and Colin. Good Luck guys. Didn't Colin and Ken beat the Bryans within the last 2 years?
They beat them at Queens - I was there - it was very late in the evening and I was worried about missing the last train home - think it must have been 2009.
9 minutes past 8 isn't that late...

Darn it ..... the boys had 40-15 on their own serve in that last game too before the BB's came back to break them.
Too tired. Going to bed.
