The French Open is still 10 weeks away, I really don't think Dan will be thinking that far ahead for doubles. I'm sure he'd love to play dubs with one of his best pals, and with the best will in the world, he isn't going to go too deep in the singles. Why not stay in Paris for a few extra days? I can think of worse places to be! Does anyone know what Dan's thoughts are re. doubles for this year? I know that he has said he wants to focus on big tournaments, but does this mean he doesn't generally want to play doubles at grand slams and masters series events?

He has been playign doubles, pretty sure he playe doubles in the AO.

Last two AO, also at Roland Garros, and tournaments in between. Which is why Dan's doubles ranking is 149

Im not saying Dan wont play doubles just not with Lloyd at the French. But like I say, Im sure hell help him when he can. Id love to see them playing together so hopefully Im wrong

Still prefer it if Lloyd and Harri can start to make some of the big events, including Wimbledon. Creating a strong pairing bond is good for them and will serve them well as they strive to get higher.

Reading Harris review of the final it sounds like Lloyd and himself will try and play together again in Marbella challenger, although travel might be an issue. Also says Lloyds has to come back to the UK this week for some studies he is doing at Loughborough.
