Looks like there are 3 doubles matches going on currently - can't seem to be able to watch them though BBC showing Centre and Court 1 only from what I can see.

 

[helennnnnn]

GB team Fleming & Inglot out in the first round v Mexico - down to the Murray bros for GB now!

 

[Aussie Darcy]

Got smoked 3-6 0-6 to 2 players even I haven't heard of. Crazy bad by Inglot/Fleming.

Yup, bad times!

 

[helennnnnn]

Mergea / Tecau (ROU) win over Delbonis / Duran (ARG)

Kubot / Matkowski (POL) win over Bopanna / Paes (IND)

 

[helennnnnn]

Eleanor Crooks ‏@EleanorcrooksPA
"Devastated", "horrendous", "embarrassing" - 3 words Fleming and Inglot used to describe that match. Not the Olympics they were hoping for
Both men denied going to the opening ceremony affected their performance. Fleming blamed "performance anxiety"

 

[helennnnnn]

Delpo / Gonzalez (ARG) beat Guccione / Peers (AUS)

Bautista Agut / Ferrer (ESP) beat Rosol / Stepanek (CZE)

Marach / Peya (AUT) beat Bury Mirnyi (BLR)

 

[fundrazer]

Will try to watch Hingis and Bacs if they're on a televised court. Scheduled for 4pm which is a little over an hour away.

 

[helennnnnn]

Cilic / Draganja (CRO) v Djokovic / Zimonjic (SRB) up on court 1 now. Ofc BBC now only showing centre

 

[Red Rick]

It seems that the matchup issues Cilic has with Djokovic even extends to doubles, even though Djokovic isn't quite the same if you put somebody on the same side of the court

 

[helennnnnn]

Konta / Watson (GBR) beat Jankovic / Krunic (SRB)

 

[Fedeonic]

Oh My God, Djokovic trashed someone in doubles for the first time ever. Still his volleys are cringe worthy.

 

[ScentOfDefeat]

Konta / Watson (GBR) beat Jankovic / Krunic (SRB)

Horrible day for Serbia. Ivanovic lost, women's doubles lost, and one of the rowing teams capsized!

 

[Fedeonic]

How are Martina and Timea playing?

 

[Fedeonic]

Great win for Garbiñe and Carla, Garbi was playing inspired tennis today. Possible QF against Makarova/Vesnina.

 

[helennnnnn]

Herbert / Mahut out, Murray bros out, Williams sisters out. Eventful day yesterday!

 

[helennnnnn]

Just seen Monfils / Tsonga also out who were seeded 4th.

 

[boredone3456]

For the ladies

I have mixed feelings on the Williams loss. It really stinks for Venus, out in the first round of both singles and doubles in what is likely to be her last Olympics. Plus it's a huge blow for team USA obviously. However...I'm happy for Safarova and Strycova. They are both good doubles players and got a really horrible match up and rose to the occasion...Safarova has dealt with a lot of issues over the last few years so a win like that has to be confidence building.

Now all the pressure is on Coco and Bethanie in doubles for the Americans. Bethanie however is a proven champion in dubs so here's hoping they can pull it off against the #5 seeds. I think they are in the easier overall half though so let's go girls

 

[helennnnnn]

Looks like lots of doubles going on tonight.

Watson / Konta lose in 3 sets to Chinese 3rd seeds. That's all 3 GB doubles teams out. I read it's likely to be Jamie and Konta in the mixed. Could have 2 teams, but Watson may not be seeded highly enough.

Johnson / Sock won their 2nd round earlier, as did Bautista Agut / Ferrer, and Nestor / Pospisil.

Nadal / Lopez take the first set over Delpo / Gonzalez.

Djokovic / Zimonjic up against 3rd seeds Melo / Soares later.

Re Watson- that's a shame, as generally she's the better doubles player of the British women.

Thanks

Indeed. She won the mixed doubles title at Wimbledon this year with Henri Kontinen.

[Novak And The Net.]

Cant believe that fat lumbering oaf Guccione is still playing.

[Munch]

Shame no Andy Murray/Watson.

 

[spystud]

Garbine/Rafa should be fun.

 

[barbaricyawp]

Nadal and Muguruza is a hell of a combo.

 

[PDJ]

Shame no Andy Murray/Watson.

Great shame. I would have fancied their chances.

 

[PDJ]

BMS/Sock (if he's recovered) could be tough.
No Hingis

 

[I Am Finnish]

Herbert/Mladenovic the big favourite imo

 

[I Am Finnish]

BMS/Sock (if he's recovered) could be tough.
No Hingis

Maybe Johnson can replace him if not fit

 

[PDJ]

Herbert/Mladenovic the big favourite imo

Like to see the medal go to a European pairing but both French women can scarily fall apart when it's not going their way.
Sentimentality suggests Mahut or BMS to get a gold.

 

[PDJ]

Maybe Johnson can replace him if not fit

Sock is still in the men's doubles which suggests he feels able to play.

 

[spystud]

 

[Meles]

Incredible group. Almost every team is of interest. Shame that Hingis is not playing without Fed or Wawa to partner (two great Swiss teams out.) Was Djokovic eligible to play?

 

[Red Rick]

Shame no Andy Murray/Watson.

And Rojer/Bertens is in somehow. Yo no compreheno. I'd happily switch them, and I'm Dutch. Not to mention Hadrecka/Stepanek wtf

 

[heftylefty]

Beware of Mattek-Sands/Sock. Both have won Slam dubs titles.

 

[Red Rick]

I agree. I don't think the ladies will handle the Sock forehand very well. Or the Nadal forehand. I don't watch a lot of mixes, but I think that dynamics should be really interesting. I'd guess that if the female can't hold her own against the male enough or if the male is too passive at net, you're gonna be toast

 

[heftylefty]

I agree. I don't think the ladies will handle the Sock forehand very well.

But they got a touch draw. Andy Murray is no joke in Dub. And if you get pass him, you are rewarded with possibly going against Mahut.
the polar opposite of a cakewalk draw.

Andy's playing? I though the plan for GB was to go Jamie/Konta and Andy/Watson?

I'm confused

 

[heftylefty]

I'm confused

According to the ITF Andy's playing with Konta.

 

[Red Rick]

Apparently (just saw draw including first names) it's Jamie Murray. That's weird, as I think Andy should be a way better mixed doubles player, despite being less experienced.

Maybe they'll decide 5 minutes before the match which bro shows up

 

[spystud]

Here's the draw pdf, it is Jamie.
