Well the rain has arrived , I live about 3 miles from Queens Club. The forecast really isn't looking good for tomorrow lets hope we get play and the Brits are better able to cope with a British Summer !

Jan · Hall of fame

Cam back out on court for doubles. It's on BBC website (and probably elsewhere too!)

But rain has started to fall...

In a match interrupted numerous times for rain Cam & Alex lost the first set 6-7(3) and it was 2-2 in the second before the weather finally won and play has been suspended for the day.

How will tomorrow work? Singles final, complete this doubles and then doubles final?

wolf · Tennis legend

Yes.

Cam is gunning to be the first player at Queen's to win the singles and doubles since (as Indy would say) err Feliciano Lopez in the last edition in 2019.

And that irritates me too, coz Liam and Ryan had two or three match points against them.....

Maybe just getting irritated too much? :)

To be honest, with this amount of Brits in the field and the closeness of scores in doubles on grass unless our lot win I feel it's odds on the eventual winners have beaten the Brits in a close match at some point.

You're not wrong smile

But actual MATCH POINTS against the pair who were Grand Slam champions just last week?

Sorry, still irritated.....

They probably sobered up massively as the week progressed though.
