[Alis]

Difficult match for Jamie with a new partner I would think or has he played with Kohlmann before?

[Sallydaisy]

I think they've partnered each other before but cannot remember where.
The match before theirs has just finished the first set (Dreddy 7'6) so it could be an hour or longer before Jamie plays. I need to zip to the bank first.

[Sallydaisy]

Singles matches are done - Murmann up next.

Going to be tricksy following Jamie in Munich, Heather in Estoril and AnneK into a 3rd set in Budapest ...
:lol:

[Sallydaisy]

Murmann are on serve at *5-5 in the first set. No breaks so far from either side.

AnneK lost.
Hev really battling in 1st set.

[lynne]

Tie-Break it is!!!!.........2-1

[Sallydaisy]

Tie-break - Murmann served first.

*1-0
1-1*
1-2*
*2-2
*3-2
3-3*
4-3* and a mini-break!!! Finally!!!
*4-4 lost it ...... Bah!
*5-4 held so it's still on serve in this match
5-5*
5-6* and set point to Baggy and the Captain
*6-6

Change of ends.
Tough match then so far, neither side giving breaks away except during the TB and only 1 per side.

[Sallydaisy]

Murmann *6-6

*7-6 and set point
7-7* either side able to capitalise on set points .... this could go on a LONG time!
7-8* another set point to Baggy and the Captain

And they get the first set 7'6(7).

Come on Murmann!!!!!
:swingin::swingin::swingin:

Great win for Jamie and Michael, very close match.

[JAMES4578]

Yes it was really tight but a great result, well done guys!

[harriet]

they'll play malisse+norman next. they beat gonzalez+kas in the tb7 in second set. came back from 1-5 down in that too.

[Jane]

Missed this one - been out a lot - well done, Jamie:yahoo::yahoo::yahoo::)

[lynne]

Murmann are 3rd on court 4 not before 2pm(1pm UK ?????)

[Sallydaisy]

Murmann are 3rd on court 4 not before 2pm(1pm UK ?????)

I think the OOP has been amended maybe?
Now 4th match on Court 4, last match (3rd) after 2 other mens doubles starting 2pm (1pm UK).
So, approx 4pm UK time??? Depends if the other guys finish their matches quickly.

[lynne]

:thanks: Sally, must have been amended it was 2.30am this morning, I even forgot to log myself out;)

[Jane]

Best of luck to Jamie and Michael:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::)

[DaveArneRiise]

Great stuff saving the set points.

5-5 now!

[harriet]

easy hold, 5-5, malisse now

[harriet]

jamie now, he has been the weak link so far - serving now for a tb7, or lose set

[DaveArneRiise]

15-30 cmon Jamie

[harriet]

30-40, 2s, DD, 6-6!! TB7

[Jane]

Well held - now for the dreaded tb

[DaveArneRiise]

Some aces would be nice?

Not a good time for a double fault :facepalm:

[harriet]

2-1
2-2, 2-3,
2-4, lost serve there, change ends, 2-5, df, must be murray

[Jane]

bad luck

[harriet]

unless jamie tightens up his serve they're going home

[DaveArneRiise]

Oh dear another double on break point :facepalm:

Norman and Malisse in the driving seat now.

[harriet]

must be catching, murmann lose first game, kohlmann serving

[harriet]

0-2, after a DD gifted them by norman, df at 40-30
kohlmann, norman, murray, malisse in this set i think

[DaveArneRiise]

Heather fairing much better in her doubles match. Took the first set!

[harriet]

1-3, kohlmann now

[harriet]

2-3, staggered over the line, 15-40, df, 2s etc DD but made it

[harriet]

2-4, come in jamie,
good man, held to love, piling the pressure on now
3-4, malisse serving

[Jane]

3-4 time for a break

[harriet]

malisse bears up, so kohlmann now at 3-5, the comeback starts here

[harriet]

alas, DD too much for them, lost 6-7, 3-6 - serving practice needed now

[Jane]

Aww:sad:- sorry you lost, Jamie:sad:

[harriet]

and they did lose that, rather than being beaten. game not on song for either of them

[DaveArneRiise]

Pitty, onwards and upwards though.

[patmoren]

7 double faults and didn't win enough points on their own serve. I thought they had a good chance this week, given the opposition but not to be.

[JAMES4578]

It was disappointing, though tbh felt they would be up against it in this match. Hopefully Jamie can have a good run in the near future!

[Speedy Hawk]

Anyone know where Jamie playing next? His name isn't on any main draw next week.
