Lipsky and Martin win 6-3, 7-5

So the dismal week for British tennis continues, you can tell it's a bad week when Booty and Stretch go out in round 1.

Still, first match on the US hard courts since March, maybe Jamie was a little rusty after a 2 week layoff or maybe they just weren't able to focus after that trip to the Playboy mansion

On to Indianapolis

living the dream 2 much at the playboy mansion? sometimes you have good losses..ie bryan brothers, but this was definitely not one of those .

oops

Don't think that was quite the plan. I'm sure they'll come back bigger and better next week, just like they did at Nottingham after losing earlier than they were seeded in Queens.

Only 2 aces and 5 Double Faults with a low (for them) first serve percentage suggests that either one of them was serving terribly or neither were at their best. I expect it was the latter.
