Double trouble for British pair

The makeshift partnership of Colin Fleming and Jamie Murray will split over the next few weeks and months as the fall-out from Ross Hutchins' diagnosis with Hodgkin's Lymphoma begins to hit home.

Fleming and Murray, once regular partners and still good friends, were beaten 7-5, 7-5 by Finland's Jarkko Nieminen and Michael Kohlmann of Germany in the first round here yesterday.

Fleming and Hutchins were the first alternates for the season-ending ATP World Tour Finals and had hoped to make a breakthrough in the grand slams this year.
