Saturday 9th July - The Murrays play doubles for GB!

We decided to do a bit of shopping this morning before the tennis as it didn't start until 2pm and I needed to get a new compact flash card for the camera!

So, we had a look around the shopping centre and bought a cf card in currys. Whilst we were there we went to pick up a birthday card for Rob's brother. We also found some pressies for our niece and nephew - giant piggy banks! They were on sale and a real bargain.

Rob picked up a pair of trainers which were also in the sale so we had quite a successful shopping trip. We grabbed a bite to eat in Subway and then took our shopping back to the room before heading to the arena.

The dreadful violin duo were performing again, we had tried to time our arrival to miss them but didn't quite manage it!

We were in different seats today, quite central and a good position.

I was quite excited to be watching Andy and Jamie play doubles together - although they play some tournaments together they are rarely televised and so it was a rare tennis treat!


The first set was a tight affair but the Murrays eventually got the break.

After that the guys seemed to loosen up and they took the second and third sets quite easily.


It was brilliant to be able to see them win their first DC doubles match together - they really seemed to enjoy the match and playing together!
