Title: Doubles pairings in Montreal

A few dead interesting doubles teams here:
Gasquet/Clement are teaming up
Jamie Murray is playing with James Blake :o (and i thought that him and Booty were still playing together...... :blink: )
Clement's doubles partner for Wimbledon - Michael Llodra is playing with Benneteau - the French players obviously doing a bit of mix and matching.....
Nadal is teaming up with Hewitt....... :blink:
oh, and Federer/Allegro are playing doubles in this tournament - drawn to meet the Bryan bros. in the second round.

With their on-court demeanor combined, that could be an intimidating combination to face ...

Hmmm, very interesting- thanks for the info Jo!
Federer playing doubles- now that doesn't happen often!!!

Out of the men's singles top 10, there's only Roddick, davydenko and Robredo not playing in the doubles in this tournament. :blink: Which, IMO, can only be good news for the profile of doubles :ok:

I couldn't agree with you more!

Btw- bit strange that Llodra and Clement aren't actually getting some practice together after their success at Wimbledon? Are they planning to play the US together?

First round loss for Murray and Blake then 6-7 (3/7) 6-3 10-8.

ah, that's not so good - cross Blake off the list if potential double partners then....... :P

Lol, indeed although I can't say I expected too much. Next week at Cincy will be much more interesting.
I still think it's worth playing with Knowles at some point to see if that could work.

Ah I wish there was some coverage of the doubles matches going on at present. Hewitt/Nadal seem to have formed a rhythm and are serving for the first set.
