"I would like Andy to practise a few times with Andre," said Gilbert, who has coached Agassi and Andy Roddick".

Jamie Murray and American partner Eric Butorac enjoyed three impressive wins to reach the final,including an impressive victory over second seeds Jim Thomas and Travis Parrott in the opening round. Sadly they lost in the final to Wimbledon champions Bob and Mike Bryan 6-2, 6-4 on Sunday. Nevertheless thats impressive!!
