Hmm, I wonder how bad Nadal's left arm was?! This is the trouble when top players do decide to play doubles- if they've already played a long singles match or feel a tweak the doubles, rightly or wrongly, is the first thing to get the boot!

Looks like Fed and Allegro gave the Bryans a run for their money!

was it really a surprise though???

I suspect if Federer had won in the doubles he'd have suddenly gained an injury in time for the next round. Like you said, they just don't want to risk it....... :(

Lol, no, not a surprise just an annoyance! It's not really fair on the full-time doubles players but then if we want singles players to play and raise the profile of the game we can't have it all...

well, i think the tournament organisers were thrilled when they realised the Bryans would be playing Fed - gave them great publicity - good for the image of doubles :ok:

I totally agree! Nice to see the best doubles players and best singles player playing on the same court! :ok:

I just meant that some of the full time doubles players who lose to the singles players who then pull out must get annoyed sometimes!

oh, yeah, sorry - wasn't disagreeing with you...it must be dead annoying for the doubles specialists when that happens.

So Hanley/Ullyett beat Knowles/Nestor 7-6 6-4. I'm guessing this will defo probably spell the end of the pairing after the Open.

Petition for Knowles to partner Murray the elder, or at least give it a try!

Just to confirm yesterdays results...

Let's hope Bhupathi has this kind of success with Jamie Murray in Cincy!

the bryans lost :yikes: absolutely screwed up my predictions then :(

ps. thanks Miss S for putting the results up for the last 2 days, i've not been quite with it i'm afraid :blush:

Spoiled my predictions too!

No worries, wasn't sure if that was just admin's role!

nope, feel free to post results and order of play and stuff :ok:

especially if your admin are too hungover to do it :blush:

Wow, talk about beginners luck as a pairing-

[8] Bhupathi/Vizner d [5]Hanley/Ullyett 6-4 6-4
