MEMPHIS R1: Jamie/Dusan cruise to win over Kendrick/Mirnyi: 6'3, 6'2

[Sallydaisy]

Jamie and Dusan taken on Jamie's former doubles partner Max Mirnyi who is teamed with American Robert Kendrick for this event.

When last they met, at Surbiton 2007, Jamie (and Booty) lost to Kendrick and his then partner. The tall American has a vicious serve!!!

So, plenty to play for at this tournament and especially important for Jamie to recoup some points lost last week.

Probably being played around midnight/1am.......

They are 6th up on Grandstand.
The current match is the 4th up and the 2 guys are 5-5 in the first set after 38mins.

Next on that court, immediately prior to Jamie/Dusan is Anne Keothavong in her first round match.......

So, plenty of livescoring ahead tonight. I'd best get back to work for now.
:wink:

[janeInScotland]

Anne's on court now (started ~ 22:50)

[Michael]

Anne lost the first set, but hopefully she will come back and win the second.

[janeInScotland]

Michael - are you the same Michael from Farnham Royal on andy's site? Or is there more than one Michael muzza fan there? :rolling:

I was going to post this on the FTM thread - but its closed. You'te not always useless (top in Rotterdam FTM on Andy's site). I'd rather you made your bad picks on Andy's games than Jamie's :) (because of their team FTM)
I am completely useless at picking. ...

Hi jane :bigsmile:

I am the same Michael. My picks on Andy's site seem to be more accurate.
I think probably, because I keep on wishing that Jamie will do well, so I end up being over optimistic.

[Michael]

We might have to wait a bit longer as Anne has won the second set 6-3.:clap::yahoo:.

Now Anne go win the third set, so we can start watching Jamie in a good, cheerful mood.:swingin:

[Michael]

Kitkats coming Annes way.

[Sallydaisy]

Anne is doing well............. 3-1 up.

Jane if you are still here.... I'm in the middle of some cooking and only up here every 30mins or so to check when Jamie will start.
I've run your request ref Peer via the other mods and will reply as soon as.
:)

[Michael]

Anne has won the third set 6-1.......................:yahoo::yahoo::yahoo:

Now bring on the one and only, :rolling:I mean two and only Jamie/Dusan. :yahoo::yahoo:

[Michael]

Their names are up on LS.

Ok, guys go, go, go.

[janeInScotland]

oh dear - I said I wouldn't stay up for it - but am very tempted to be here for the start - but I can't stay to see the result.

Go Jamie/Dusan - demolish the opposition & show us what you're capable of :) (I hope I don't regret this tomorrow). I think that sofas may be required :(

[Michael]

jane I may not be able to stay up for the whole match either.

Sofa already prepared...............

[janeInScotland]

SallyDaisy implied that she's up for a Jamie match watch - but ...

Maybe fans in other time zones will be there to support him

[Michael]

Wow 2-0, a beautiful kitkat already...........:swingin::clap:

[Sallydaisy]

I'm here and they've started OK!!!

Held to love in game 1 and just broke to 30 in game 2.

Jamie/Dusan are 2-0 up and serving next.
No idea yet who IS serving but hey ho!!!

Come on Jamisan!!!

:swingin::swingin::swingin:

[Michael]

This is moving very fast 3-0.

[Sallydaisy]

OK this post will be edited if I'm the only one here..............

Jamisan 3-0..... another hold to love in fact so they are serving very well it seems!!!

[Sallydaisy]

I'll be happy if it moves very fast to a double bagel - I have to be up at 6am!!!

[RoastLamb]

Come on boys!!! :swingin: :swingin: :swingin:

[Reeltime]

Morning all, thought I'd better get involved over here for a change. Good start for Jamie here 3-1

[lynne]

4-1 Keep It Going Boy's!!!!

[Sallydaisy]

4-1 now.

:swingin::swingin::swingin:

The other guys served a double fault - did anyone spot who that was???
No other way to find out who is serving unless there's an Ace or DF.

[janeInScotland]

Looking good - total points won is 69% for JM/DV :yahoo:

[Sallydaisy]

Bah, someone on t'other side of the net held serve.
:confused:

[Reeltime]

5-2 now, looking good

[Michael]

5-2.......................:yahoo::yahoo: Now just take the first set guys. A bagel in the second set would be good.

[smitty]

It's only about 8:30pm here, so I'll keep an eye on the scoreboard and keep the good vibes going out towards Memphis if anyone falls asleep. Good start for them. Get that first set! :yahoo:

[Michael]

Thanks smitty, your vibes may be needed.

[lynne]

Come on guy's...serve this out!!!!:clap:

[smitty]

Keep it up! :swingin: First set 6-3

[lynne]

[Michael]

:yahoo::yahoo::yahoo::yahoo::yahoo::yahoo:

[RoastLamb]

[Michael]

This is a repeat of the first set.

Kitkat on the first game.

Keep going guys, give me many, many kitkats.

[Sallydaisy]

Come on Jamie Murray - let's be having 4 Aces please!!!

:swingin:

[Reeltime]

This is quite a high powered doubles tourney, a win here is worth 90 points, which could be worth 3 places in the rankings, not counting what other people do

2-1 up in the second with a break

[Sallydaisy]

OK, forget the Aces - just hold serve!!!

[Reeltime]

Eekk, bp

[Reeltime]

saved, back to deuce

[Sallydaisy]

Held serve - good stuff...........

:thumbup:

[Michael]

phew, that was a bit iffee...................However, 3-1 to the good guys.

[Reeltime]

Yesss, escaped it and held, 3-1

[lynne]

Keep the momentum going guy's!!!!....:swingin::swingin:

[smitty]

Come on guys! :clap: 4-2 second set

[Michael]

4-2, and Jamie serving next time.

[Sallydaisy]

Dusan does like those 2nd serve Aces.................

:wink:

4-2 up and it's Kendrick to serve..........

[smitty]

Ooohh, break point! Got it! Serve it out Jamie! :clap:

[Reeltime]

Oh yeah, 5-2 double break,

[janeInScotland]

good to see so many of us still here :) - and that Jamie/Dusan are within one game of a win :swingin:

[Sallydaisy]

Woooooooooooooooooooooooo Hoooooooooooooooooooooo

Come on ...................

[Michael]

5-2.....................:yahoo: Jamie now please, please hold your serve.

[lynne]

[Michael]

I have to admit, no sofas have been required so far.

[janeInScotland]

[smitty]
