has Dom played French or Wimbledon doubles much before? Looks like we might have a few chances to go deep in both tournaments!

In 2010 (i.e. before he got injured), Dom & Chris caused quite a stir at Wimbledon by beating top seeds Nestor & Zimonjic at Wimbledon, reaching R3.

Someone RTd this from Treat:

"Old man said to Dom and I right after we won are semi today "you guys are bums. The americans should have won. Bums." And then walked away nobiggrin

Just as I check back, with the help of a fortuitous net cord, the 'bums' get the first break and will serve for the set ... but the American sky has started to cry.

Classic - it's a 3-3 tie so it looks like they got the 'you guys are bums' man (see above) to come up with a dodgy tie breaker wink

1 tick each for being American and call it 'intangibles'? That'll do nicely evileye

(ok, I'm sure it's something to do with them being top 100 singles players really, but I prefer my theory biggrin)

The Americans take the 2nd point on Treat's serve too and look to be winning their set point on Querrey's serve but Dom puts up an amazing lob to save it.

It's now *9-9, Dom serving.

Dom & TCH lose a marathon first-set tie-break by 14-16 after an hour & 6 minutes cry - & I'm off to bed!  Good luck for the rest of the match, boys!

Tuned in again to find Dom & Treat 15-30 and then 3 match points down on Dom's serve. They saved all three and got to 0-30 on Querrey's serve but the Americans won the next 4 points to win the match 7-6(14) 6-4
