British Doubles

[Glenys]

So here we can discuss Jamie, Dom Inglot, Jonny Marray, Colin Fleming, Jocelyn Rae & Anna Smith and all other combinations

Jamie hasn't played with Bruno Soares SINCE the Australian Open, he is still on the courts though (whereas I haven't spotted Bruno much, but I think he is in Rio)

He teamed up with Daniel Nestor last week (half of the team Jamie and Bruno beat in the AO) and next week he is in Dubai with Tommy Robredo - they've drawn John peers and his new doubles partner

Colin is in the doubles final in Marseille with his regular doubles partner Erlich . they will play the 2nd seeds in the final

@Glenys - Two questions...

What's your favourite pairing...

a) Brit Player and a non-brit player that have played together at some point?

b) A brit only pairing?

Question is about men's tennis, but feel free to chuck in the ladies pairings if you like.

 

[Glenys]

Ooooo interesting questions!

A) Dom Inglot and Florin Mergea - (mostly cos you can make Merlot with their names ) - just about forgiven Florin for dumping Dom - Ladies side is harder as there are not that many established doubles players

B) Colin Fleming and Jonny Marray. - Ladies - Jocelyn Rae & Anna Smith

Mixing it up a bit... who would you take between a mixed (Brit and Non-brit) like Jame and Bruno versus Colin and Jonny? on say, hard courts.

 

[Glenys]

Would be Jamie and Bruno, they are higher ranked and play together more.

Congratulations to Jamie Murray who is now the World Ranked #1 Doubles Player

So Deserved

Well he's definitely worked hard in carving out a career as a doubles specialist and it must be difficult having such a successful younger brother. Nice to see him achieve success in his own right.
