link please :wavey:

http://www.tennisaustralia.com.au/pages/default.aspx?id=5878&pageId=9042 But it's updated like every 15 minutes :sad: I wished they cared more for doubles..

Erlich/Ram lead 5-4

:sad:

[1] Paul Hanley (AUS) / Kevin Ullyett (ZIM) 4
[2] Jonathan Erlich (ISR) / Andy Ram (ISR) 5

singles is wot we want

bring on Xman

what time X-man started?

Kevin/Ullyett 6-6 Erlich/Ram

I find Doubles interesting, mind you, and the singles follow the doubles.

[1] Paul Hanley (AUS) / Kevin Ullyett (ZIM) 6
[2] Jonathan Erlich (ISR) / Andy Ram (ISR) 6

what time X-man started?


not yet, it will start once the double match is finished

hey i thiought the doubles scoring changed?

It did but it reverted (Thank God!). Now, they play two full sets, and if it goes to three, they play a match TB (10 points, at least 2 points difference). No ad scoring.

I must admit, doubles is a bit too pedestrian for me, but I think it was very insulting and disrespectful to try and change the scoring just to make it more "exciting" and "tv friendly". Glad it is back to normal too.

Almost back to normal, but not quite :) Hopefully they will completely restore it, because the changes aren't really making that much of a difference...

Erlich/Ram lead Hanley/Ullyett 7-6 (4) :(

[1] Paul Hanley (AUS) / Kevin Ullyett (ZIM) 6(4)
[2] Jonathan Erlich (ISR) / Andy Ram (ISR) 7

Andy/Yoni :D

Erlich/Ram lead 7-6 (4) 2-3

:sad: Come on, Kevin and Paul! I know you can do this!

Final

[1] Paul Hanley (AUS) / Kevin Ullyett (ZIM) 6(4) 4
[2] Jonathan Erlich (ISR) / Andy Ram (ISR) 7 3

How you guys think that Malisse and Serra gonna do in the next tourney??U think that they can carry on their hot streak and continue wininng?

Malisse is more likely to go well in the next toruny. Serra has had his fun, a very good run, but this may be a one off for him.
