Dan got a standing ovation when he went off the court.
Andy spent a few minutes signing balls for loads of kids, then headed off to another standing ovation. Lots of fans wait and applaud him, knowing they probably won’t see him here again at RG.

A counter puncher like Andy always fights back.

In the middle of the second set I had the impression they were not totally committed to winning. Then they got the break back and looked more engaged. But in the TB too many errors and some good play from B&S cost them the set, similarly to the first. End of Roland Garros for Andy and Dan.

Very frustrating match, they definitely had their chances to win. Meanwhile, Jamie's match was over in a flash with winning in straight sets. Sad to see them lose.

It didn't help either that neither of them were serving all that well. Still, they must be feeling hugely disappointed because their opponents are at best average doubles players.
