Hanley, Ramos, Melzer, Nieminen

[Sallydaisy]

Andy and Jamie are teaming up to play doubles in Indian Wells.

There are some very good doubles teams in the Entry List - and some very good players who might not get into the draw!!!

[RoastLamb]

Rafa's playing too. Nice to see Dolly and Xavier back together again.

[JAMES4578]

Good that Andy/Jamie getting back in action, some other other good pairings to look out for too!

[patmoren]

Shame Colin/Ross will not get into the draw because of all the "non doubles" partnerships. They need some high reward matches to progress up the rankings.

[Sallydaisy]

Shame Colin/Ross will not get into the draw because of all the "non doubles" partnerships. They need some high reward matches to progress up the rankings.

But they could still be in the draw ..... and it's highly likely that they will be.

If you look at the entry list (for this 32 draw) there are 22 definites based on rank on 20th February.

The are also 8 x OS - this stands for On-Site and places are allocated to teams present at a certain time in I/Wells (and within a few hours of the draw being made) and it's based on combined ranking. Since Colin and Ross are in the States and intend playing there thru' to the end of March they'll be in Memphis by the OS deadline of 7th March and there is every chance they'll be in the draw. If they do well this week and next they could move further up that list of "Alts".

Doubles works differently to singles in this regard; in singles places are either by DA (direct acceptance based on rank), SE, WC or Qualifying and there isn't the On-Site option at all.

The remaining 2 x WC are up to the TD to allocate and would likely to go American pairings who miss out on a spot either via the Entry List or On-Site places. In some cases those WC's will go first to Americans on the Alt list e.g. Isner/Querey and that in itself would move Colin/Ross up a place.

[lankster2003]

Andy and Jamie drawn to play Colin and Ross in 1st round of doubles!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Linda]

News of the IW doubles draw on Twitter - apparently Andy & Jamie play Colin & Ross in the 1st round :crying: :crying: :crying:

[Linda]

Just posted that on the doubles thread. Terrible news.

[-J-]

Good news, tho hope Andy & Jamie dont charge them for the tennis lesson

[Manaus]

Andy and Jamie drawn to play Colin and Ross in 1st round of doubles!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ouch, pretty horrible luck there. :sad:

[Sallydaisy]

At least we're guaranteed a British pair into R2 .........
:shades:

[Madeline]

I suppose at least it means one of the pairs through to the next round.

[JAMES4578]

Yes, not what we wanted to hear! Tough draw, but hopefully a quality match! However, the winners will likely face 2nd seeds Mirnyi/Nestor.

[Alis]

Andy and Jamie drawn to play Colin and Ross in 1st round of doubles!!!!!!!!!!!!

How unlucky is that? At least it means we will have a British doubles duo in the second round I suppose.

[Linda]

Can't find a thread for IW dubs so I'll post here:

Granollers & Lopez d. Djokovic & Troicki 7-5 7-5 :cheer: :cheer:

[Sallydaisy]

Think this is needed; will add info.

[Linda]

Thanks Sally for moving my post - don't know why I couldn't find the right thread before :confused:

[Sallydaisy]

Thanks Sally for moving my post - don't know why I couldn't find the right thread before :confused:

I just set it up with a bit of moving and shaking ..........
:shades:

[Sallydaisy]

The all-Brit match isn't scheduled for Saturday.

[Jane]

So...... if Jamie and Andy win substantially........who plays doubles in the Davis Cup?:whistle::)
(Just stirring!!!)

[Linda]

M Lopez & Nadal b. Llodra & Zimonjic 6-4, 6-4 :cheer:

[banskogirl]

Such a pity they have to play each other but I'm sure they will go easy on each other...............

[Sallydaisy]

Andy/Jamie play Colin/Ross on Sunday 11th March - 4th on Court 7.
Approx 11.30pm UK time - unlikely to be any livestreams.

[RFS]

well I for one hope that they try and play to win. it's clear Andy needs to get some matches under his belt for this stretch...
I am a little uncomfortable with so many thinking they don't have a chance...

Sure - sometimes we know that Andy tends to go for everything when perhaps he needs to play more in a team - but we also know that CAN pull it out of the bag - and maybe, just maybe he needs a win to put this morning's defeat behind him.
And he always really wants to do well for Jamie...

Personally while Andy is still in a competition in IW - I hope he gives it everything.
If they go out fair and square, then absolutely on to Miami and hope things come good there....

[supergran]

Good post my friend. x

[Linda]

I see that Garrigues and Goerges have been switched from Court 7 to Stadium 2 (since Kerber & King aren't playing as King has the stomach bug). So Andy, Jamie, Colin & Ross may be on earlier than expected (I haven't seen a revised OOP so don't know whether any other matches may be moved).

Thanks James - good spot.
:thumbup:

Have tweeted this information, posted on BT.net and posted again in main IW thread.

[Sallydaisy]

This match could start before 10pm!!!

Verdasco now leads Sweeting 6'2, 4'1 and once it's over the 4 British boys will be in action!

[Sallydaisy]

Match is up on livescore!

very good!

[Linda]

Murrays to serve first.

[Sallydaisy]

Murrays hold for 1-0, Flemchins to serve next.

I'm just eating a nice bowl of rhubarb crumble and custard!!!

[Linda]

I'm just eating some Green & Black's dark chocolate - my son thought it was Mother's Day today!

[hfwardhouse]

I'm just eating some Green & Black's dark chocolate - my son thought it was Mother's Day today!

Luck you - so does that mean you get more chocolate next week too?!

[Jan]

Flemchins break

[Linda]

Luck you - so does that mean you get more chocolate next week too?!

I don't think so! :rolling:

[MurrayAOne]

Mon the Murrays!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hfwardhouse]

I don't think so! :rolling:

Darnit ;)

Oh well ..... COME ON BRIT BOYS - wish we could watch!

[Linda]

I know, I really wish I could watch it. Seems a bit pointless livescoring it really when I don't mind at all who wins.

[hfwardhouse]

Yeh I feel a bit the same Linda - obviously would love to see the Murrays win, but Flemchins need the points and would love to see them at the O2 in November!

[Linda]

Yes, on the whole it would be best if Flemchins win.

[Jan]

tend to agree. I'm off to bed now. Hope you are all enjoying your various snacks!!

[MurrayAOne]

Come on the Murrays! Keep at it boys!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MurrayAOne]

Yes, on the whole it would be best if Flemchins win.

How do you mean?

[hfwardhouse]

How do you mean?

Cos it's points towards the year end and hopefully they'll have a good enough year that they'll qualify for WTF - Andy and Jamie won't.

[JAMES4578]

Whilst I'm pretty neutral, thinking long term probably better if Flemchins come through here-still a break up hopefully the Murrays will battle though.

[Linda]

It would be wonderful if they could make the WTF! :big grin:

[MurrayAOne]

Cos it's points towards the year end and hopefully they'll have a good enough year that they'll qualify for WTF - Andy and Jamie won't.

Oh I see. Thanks. Hope they do qualify then but sorry - as much as Flemchins are great they are playing the Murrays so I say again.........Mon the Murrays!!!!!!!!!!

[hfwardhouse]

Flemchins take the first set 6-3

[Sallydaisy]

Ooooh, Hutchins serving. DF to give Muzzahs *0-30, 15-40 and 2 BP's.

[Linda]

Murrays a break up in the 2nd

[ljs]

must be kind of wierd for these guys playing each other .. seeing as they are all such good friends .

[hfwardhouse]

Blimey Murmur are up a double break in the 2nd! Game on!

[pabbers]

Off to bed - don't know who I want to win now. But Andy probably needs to get off to Miami and get his head straight. On the other hand a win here might help his confidence.

[Sallydaisy]

Muzzahs now 4-0 up in the 2nd set.

[MurrayAOne]

Go Andy and Jamie!!!!!!!!!!

[JAMES4578]

Quite a turnaround, but looks like Cross have falterted as Murrays rise to the challenge. Could be an interesting ctb!

[Sallydaisy]

Andy and Jamie reached the QF here last year so they're defending 180 points.
+ w/c 12/3 Jamie will also drop 90 points for getting through a round in Miami last year.

So, for the elder Murray a couple of wins here are needed to keep his ranking.

+ tbh I wouldn't mind if Andy got a couple of matches under his belt here before heading to Miami.
It might help his confidence.

As a regular pairing Flemchins will have lots more chances to post wins throughout this year and ensure their place in London in November! (and get into the Olympics!!).

[Linda]

One set all.

[hfwardhouse]

:sofa:

[JAMES4578]

oh well it's russian roulette, expect Colin/Ross will try and up it again- wonder if Jamie/Andy can keep the momentum going!

[MurrayAOne]

Come on Andy and Jamie!!!!!!!!!!

[Alis]

I agree Sallydaisy - having first thought it would be better for Andy to get out of there asap, on reflection it would probably be better for him to get a few matches under his belt before Miami, both for his confidence and match fitness.

[Sallydaisy]

Phew, trading of mini-breaks again.

Murrays ahead 5-3, Flemchins serving.
Now 6'3 and it's the Muzzahs to serve.
*7-3
*8-3 Flemchins have a lot to do if they want to win this.
8-4* Change of ends ......

[hfwardhouse]

8-4 to the Murrays now - are Flemchins toast?

[Sallydaisy]

8-5 Muzzahs have 2 serves to try and win the match right now.
*8-6 Oooops!!!
*8-7 DF from MUR (god knows which one!)

[hfwardhouse]

8-8!!!!

[hfwardhouse]

Eeeek Flemchins have match point :shocked:

[Linda]

But MurMur saved it and now have MP themselves

[Alis]

How did they go from 8-3 ahead to 9-8 for Colin and Ross?

[Linda]

10-10 now

[hfwardhouse]

11-10 to Flemchins ..... wish they'd hurry up and sort it out so I can get to bed :rolleyes:

[Linda]

11-10 to Flemchins ..... wish they'd hurry up and sort it out so I can get to bed :rolleyes:

My thoughts exactly!

11-11 :rolleyes:

[Sallydaisy]

8-8*
8-9* Match point to Flemchins
*9-9 C'mon the Murrays!!!!!
*10-9 Now matchpoint to the Murrays!!!
10-10*
10-11* Matchpoint to Flemchins
*11-11

[Sallydaisy]

*12-11 Matchpoint Murrays again!

[hfwardhouse]

The Murrays win :cheer:

3-6 6-2 13-11

[Linda]

The Murrays take it 13-11

[Sallydaisy]

:yahoo::yahoo::yahoo:

The Murrays win 13-11 in the CTB.

[Jane]

Yesssss - well done Jamie and Andy:cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer::cheer::)

[Alis]

Good match!! Well done the Murrays :cheer: bad luck to Ross and Colin though.

[lynne]

Well Done Guy's...:clap::clap:....would of loved to have seen that match..what a tussle at the end!!!..:clap:

[supergran]

:cheer::cheer::cheer: Congratulations Jamie and Andy!:cheer::cheer::cheer:

[MurrayAOne]

Well in Andy and Jamie! Great win!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JAMES4578]

Nervewracking following the ctb but gutsy effort form Jamie/Andy after they were pegged back! Of course it is a bit gutting for Colin/Ross but can still have a fabulous year!

[xenon21]

Wow! What a match! Puty no livestream. Well done to Andy and Jamie! :clap: :cheer:

Gutted for Flemchins as needed points for World Tour finals, Olympics... Hopefully they will bounce back well in Miami!

[karanga]

Well done Andy and Jamie. Pity they had to beat Colin and Ross tho. :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

[RFS]

Feel sorry for Colin and Ross but we are early in the season so they will have good chances ... Personally I am so pleased for jamie and Andy - especially after THAT loss ...

[-J-]

always nice to see a real tennis player give these doubles "specialist" a tennis lesson
well done andy :clap::clap: and the other guy ;)

[pabbers]

Wow just reading the thread had my heart pounding........very exciting! Glad Andy has a win and it's good for Jamie too although he really does need to knuckle down and find himself a longterm partner. Commiserations to Colin and Ross.

[harriet]

always nice to see a real tennis player give these doubles "specialist" a tennis lesson
well done andy :clap::clap: and the other guy ;)
hi jac, yup, good practice in serving aces on second serve, even at the cost of a few dfs, eh what old chap.
tho that might have been 'the other guy', in which case andy needs a better partner, another scot perhaps, that fleming feller might be amenable?

[Jan]

pleased for Andy and Jamie, but would so love to see Colin and Ross heading on up the rankings. Disappointed for them.

[Alis]

Don't know what they were doing with the livestream - at one point they had Ross serving a double fault for the Murray team. Very confusing!

[Jennan]

Sounds as if it was an exciting match. Pleased the Murrays won, but like everyone else, sorry for Colin & Ross. Hope they can get through a few more rounds.

[scrapaddict]

well done murrays - keep it up but I hope Ross and Colin can get to the Olympics..........

[Alis]

Sounds as if it was an exciting match. Pleased the Murrays won, but like everyone else, sorry for Colin & Ross. Hope they can get through a few more rounds.

Unfortunately, they play the second seeds next.

[JAMES4578]

Yes, it will be tough against Miryni/Nestor, at this point just hope Jamie and Andy play well.

[hfwardhouse]

A bit of match practice is no bad thing - and obviously it paid off in the match yesterday - the second set and MTB were pretty good!

[karanga]

Tough draw for Andy and Jamie,

Good luck :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

[Linda]

Don't know what they were doing with the livestream - at one point they had Ross serving a double fault for the Murray team. Very confusing!

That seems to happen all the time when I'm livescoring doubles. I don't know whether it's a glitch in the system or what, but it is, as you say, very confusing! :confused:

[Caro]

This time I am able to be wholeheartedly behind the Murrays :cheer::cheer::cheer:

I know they play the no 2 seeds but you can't take away the fact that Andy is the no 4 player in the world!! Best of luck boys x

[Linda]

Davydenko out with illness so Bellucci gets a walkover. First match on Stadium 3 will be Ferrer v Istomin. I wouldn't mind betting that they'll move a match from Stadium 2 to Stadium 3, but no sign of a revised OOP yet. Will have to check later as Andy & Jamie might be on earlier than expected.

[xenon21]

Am assuming the match will be middle of the night for us right? Never nice not knowing time :p And no livestream?

Good luck Andy and Jamie! Nothing to lose, everything to gain!

[david1610]

The court they were on has supposedly finished live transmission but is continuing to show a wideview webcam transmission of Indian Wells and you can hear the players being announced in the background. SO frustrating!
PS They won the first set 7-6. Very tight set.
Early break in second. That was strange. Opponents had 78% first serves in first set and did not serve a single first serve in that game!

[Fina]

Yay. A really tight first set, but they won the tiebreak :cheer:

[RFS]

Awake stupidly early (no down time this week between revision and drafting a couple of trial articles for the chance to write for a new sports magazine)
I support the Murrays whenever and against whoever ... And for them to have taken the first set is just fabulous!!!!

Come on lads - more of the same !!

[RFS]

Ooh 5-6 ... Comeawwwn

[RFS]

Rats - they lost 5-10 in the MTB. And now I have to get up and schlep to that dogs-behind of the world, Watford.
Meh!

[Fina]

Shame they couldn't have clinched it.

[david1610]

Yes, pity but at least on to Miami and hopefully Ivan.

[JAMES4578]

Gutting they fell short in the end, but it obviously was a good effort! At one point they were up 7-6, 2-0 but broken back at 2-1. Set my alarm for 4 but actually woke up a bit before then and seen that the match was due to start but unfortunately as I pretty much expected there was no stream. So I went back to bed and followed scores on my phone and tweeted a few times!

[hfwardhouse]

Oh what a shame that they weren't able to win through in the MTB this time :sad:

They lost 7-6 6-7 5-10

On the plus side - they can now get out of Indian Un-Wells and head for the east coast where hopefully everyone will be feeling much better :thumbup:

[Jane]

Really bad luck, guys - looks like you had a good match, though. :)

[Jan]

Hard luck lads. Sounds as though they were competitive against a top pair.
On to Miami

[Sallydaisy]

Oh what a shame that they weren't able to win through in the MTB this time
They lost 7-6 6-7 5-10
That was very close though!!!


On the plus side - they can now get out of Indian Un-Wells and head for the east coast where hopefully everyone will be feeling much better
:thumbup:
Yep, sounds as though that would be a VERY good plan indeed!!!
Can't remember tournament where so many players went down sick.

[hfwardhouse]

That was very close though!!!

Can't remember tournament where so many players went down sick.

It was very close - such a shame :sad:

And as for the sickness - I can't remember every hearing about something like this .... hope it doesn't follow them to Miami :eek:

[Katie]

Sounds like it was a very good match and Andy & Jamie were very close to winning. The plus side is that Andy can now get down to Miami and be fully-adjusted to the court conditions before his first match there.

[Alis]

........ the downside is that Jamie will lose quite a number of points which he can ill afford. They did really well against an established doubles duo though.

[patmoren]

Jamie needs to get a permanent partener if he wants to rise in the rankings, can't keep relying on Andy.

[supergran]

Disappointed at their loss. Now Andy can prepare for Miami, but feel for Jamie who loses points and needs to find a partner soon.

[xenon21]

Oh no! Sounds like a tight match and so close! Well done Andy and Jamie for fightinh so hard!

[Caro]

Jamie needs to get a permanent partener if he wants to rise in the rankings, can't keep relying on Andy.

Totally agree Pat ... needs sorting pronto!!

[Alis]

i wonder what happened to the Australian guy and then there was the South American before him - both seemed to be promising partnerships. He doesn't ever seem to give himself time to establish a rapport.

[jeannie13]

Paul hanley (the Australian) is playing at IW with Gasquet. They are playing today.
Hopefully Jamie & him will be together again at Miami.:highfive:

[Sallydaisy]

If they do get together for Miami Jamie and Paul will need to get into the draw via entry 'on-site' because they're not on the Entry List that has been released. Link here. (http://www.andymurrayfanforum.com/forums/showthread.php?808-MIAMI-MASTERS-2012-21-3-1-4-%28ATP1000%29-Main-Thread-Information-and-Entry-Lists&p=50465&viewfull=1#post50465)

[Lizzim]

I'm a bit puzzled by people saying Jamie needs to sort out a partner....as far as I can tell he has been playing with Paul this year where possible. I assume they wouldn't make the cut for masters events due to ranking...so they split up to get into the draw.

[Alis]

I see - maybe that's the reason then.

[LC the fan]

Having said that, it does seem that Jamie just cant settle with a permanent partner. I wonder what the problem is
