Another hold on a deuce pt.  What impressed me so much last week about this team was the way they played the big pts.  They rarely made errors and if their opponents were going to take the game, it was going to be on a winner, not a mistake from B/M...Haven't been broken yet in the tourney, and only once last week.  Impressive doubles.

6-4. 2-0

but they can't save the second!!!

GSM Butorac/Murray 6-4, 6-3 - very comfortable victory against the seeded pairing

for Aucks and Huss. Is it bad that I'm hoping the problem is with Huss.

for Jamie and Booty! I hope Craig is right that they will slaughter Lipsky/Martin. Noth big servers...

Very many thanks to GC77 and Craig K for the commentary.  I'm afraid I "tanked" after the Auckland Huss retirement - couldn't take another very late night!
