Julian & Henry continue on their merry, giant-killing way:
L16: (WC) Julian Cash & Henry Patten CR 460 (228+232) defeated (3) Nuno Borges & Francisco Cabral (POR/POR) CR 166 (95+71) by 7-6(5) 7-5
I watched a couple of games of this on the ATP stream, Julian and Henry know what they are about on grass, is it Julian with the big lefty serve, or Henry? It was just teeing up the net player to volley it away. They could prove very dangerous on the Wimbledon courts and ones to watch. Going to be very interesting
Reminds me rather of when Joe Salisbury graduated, tried singles for a year or so, rather limited success (more of the Julian ilk than the Henry ilk) and then made excellent use of some doubles wildcards and was suddenly established on the doubles tour and the rest - as they say - is history
I don't know about Henry but, as previously, I've never thought Julian had a future in singles, that doubles was always the right (only) choice for him - which is fine and dandy
Worth pointing out that Henry was WR 770 in doubles at the start of the year - now 194
The Julian and Henry run right now, reminds me very much of the Jonny O'Mara/Scott Clayton run when they decided to focus more on doubles than singles.
