Looks as though the draw is out if Wolfie has posted on Ross's thread.
:thumbup:

[janeInScotland]

Am I right that seeding depends on doubles ranking and so Blake/Fish won't be seeded?

[Sallydaisy]

Not sure Jane; you may be right but I've not had chance to check.
I left in all the calculations in the Rotterdam Draw post so people could see how it was all worked out.

[janeInScotland]

It's good to see all the calculations (& may help with FTM :))

[Sallydaisy]

It didn't work in Zagreb. Jamie and Dusan were bumped up ahead of Knowle/Melzer to be made #3 seeds.

[janeInScotland]

I'm not sure what your post means :confused:

[Sallydaisy]

It means that if you look at the caculations Jamie/Dusan should not have been seeded 3.....

Ross plays around midnight Tuesday in San Jose......
:thumbup:

First post is updated with information.......

[janeInScotland]

It means that if you look at the caculations Jamie/Dusan should not have been seeded 3.....


maybe they'd have got a better draw if seedings had been different

[1minutetomidknight]

ross/Huss won their first round in San Jose

[patmoren]

Something positive to celebrate.

[Sallydaisy]

Booty and Fish are a set up in their doubles match in San Jose against Lipsky/Martin.

Not sure if I'll be up to post the final result.

[Fitzy]

Booty and Fish won 6-4, 7-5! :clap: Pretty impressive since Fish played in a final on Sunday in South Africa. Not much turn around time for him.

[Sallydaisy]

:clap::clap::clap:

OK - I was around but doing other stuff.

I'm so glad Booty won, Fish too obviously, but for Eric it'd be great for him to post a few more wins to keep his rankings going.

[Sallydaisy]

I just saw that the Bryan twins beat the Ratiwana twins in San Jose.............

Is this match a first on the Doubles tour???
I can't think of a previous time that 2 pairs of twins faced one another?
:)

[Fitzy]

It's the first time yes, that two pairs of twins have ever played each other on the ATP tour. :thumbup:

Unfortunately for the Thai twins, their level of play is probably still at the challenger level but it would be interesting if they kept improving and played the Bryans again. :)

[patmoren]

Well done Booty and Fish. Eric need a boost.

[Sallydaisy]

Booty and Fish won their first round match at San jose.
They have started their 2nd round against Haas/Stepanek and it's 2-1 on serve to opposition

[janeInScotland]

Booty & .. won the first set 6-4 now 1-1 in second

[janeInScotland]

Booty & .. lost the second set 4-6 - so now into a MTB

[Sallydaisy]

They lost it 6-10 to Haas/Stepanek...
:cry:

[patmoren]

What a shame. It seems very difficult for the teams we support to get consistent wins at the moment.

[JAMES4579]

Yes, it was disappointing Booty and Ash couldn't close it out in yet another ctb!:cry::cry:

[1minutetomidknight]

hutch and huss won their QF. The Bryans are out.

[JAMES4579]

Yes seen that, a bit of a surprise to see the Bryans fall. Great that Huss and Hutchins in the semis.

[Linda]

Well done H&H! :yahoo:

[janeInScotland]

good match Huss/Hutchins :clap::swingin:

[RoastLamb]

Excellent news!!! :yahoo:

[Linda]

:cry: H&H lost after winning the first set :cry:
