With Dan gone, it is down to Jamie and Neal to add a win today. Tight match with Guinard and Rinderknech, must admit I know nothing of the French pair and it is a little disappointing to see Jamie and Neal struggling in this one. Set down and 4-3 with a breakpoint as a I write
L32: (13) Jamie Murray & Neal Skupski CR 53 (26+27) defeated (WC) Manuel Guinard & Arthur Rinderknech (FRA/FRA) CR 387 (196+191) by 4-6 6-4 7-6(3)
I thought they were going to blow it when they kept going a break down in the first half of the decider! On the evidence of the stats, alone they didn't play all that well, although they ultimately served slightly better. Only three out of 18 break points converted compared with three out of eight for the local WCs!
