2014 was the year the wheels fell off the British men's doubles bandwagon. Our players won just two ATP titles all season, Jamie in Munich and Dom in Eastbourne.

After 1 week of 2015 they have already matched that smile

Not a great start in week 1 for our Men's Singles players, but the doubles players are really off and running with 2 titles already. Great news and particularly happy for Jonny who has struggled to find a regular partner for so long.

Lost count of the number of times I checked today to see if there was an article. Jamie M will be pleased though as I have read his report at least 6 times to see if they had added a comment about Jonny. Maybe the tennis staff don't work on a Sunday afternoon and we will see something tomorrow. Oops, there goes another flying pig,

Glad I'm not the only one who kept checking back to see if there was any write up. Was beginning to worry about myself. Hah. Yep maybe tomorrow. Maybe.
