I love it, they just told me that the winner will go into the final. Like that was the most amazing thing to happen to a winner of a semi! Sorry, I just love commentators they make me giggle.

LP just been predicted to win!

Lipsky to serve
second serve. 0-15, M missed forehand volley (out wide)
15-15, ace down T (past Jamie)
30-15, good wide serve, good return by Bootie, Jamie hits volley to bottom of net
40-15, ace down T again
second serve: game. Martin smashes volley through Jamie's feet.

1-0

Commentator just claimed LM are 2nd best doubles team in US
Lol, that commentator sounds so biased !!!   L/M are no way the 2nd best doubles team in the US, that's just crazy !

Jamie serving (commentator has no clue about Jamie's game, seems really curious about him.)

second serve. 15-0, lovely little rally, classic doubles all four at net. JB right on top of it, get the volley winner, knew exaclty where each shot was going. great.
15-15, lob return, Murrar gets backwards reply, L hits halfvolley winner from off court, good shot.
30-15, second serve. good couple of shots, B forces error
40-15, good serve, return long. Commentator just confessed to never having seen Butorac play either so basically the reason he's soo biased is because he's only seen one team play! Oh the objectiveness of it!!
game. B winner. Jamie spins racket in celebration.

L serving

15-0 good serve,
30-0, great serve, return out
30-15, ue from LM, shot into net
second serve, late call. good return from JM but L right there, halfvollley to B, who promptly nets.,
game. B forced out of position and ball skids past him.

the courts look really really fast. Makes for exciting doubles play.

B to serve

'I' formation. second serve, I again.0-15 good return, L sends volley winner through middle of the two. Only just though
15-15, second serve. Great reflexes from JM intercepts dtl winner and sends a volley winner of his own through the middle
second serve: 30-15 return extremely wide!
40-15, lob return, JM smashes the winner away, silly L for the lob! Hey! Commentator just said MB look 'a tad better' than his favourites!!!!
40-30, missed it, in shock at commentators comment! (he's also really caught up in fact Lipsky beat Roddick in the US juniors open!)
game. second serve, couple of shots then L throws up lob, J leaves and is correct to do so, just long.

3-3

M serving

15-0, JM's quick but not that quick as the ball goes through his legs!
15-15, M goes just wide
30-15
second serve, the rebound off the net nearly got Lipsky then! 30-30, great return and M nets the response. Commentator inpressed by number of returns JB getting back! What we've been saying all week!
second serve, 30-40, EXCELLENT intercept from Jamie, he is right on the net and not letting much past him.
deuce. good return from Jamie but JB cover DTL too early and M goes through middle.
NO AD POINT: second serve. game JB!!!!!!!!!! great return, response into bottom of net.

Commentator just gave a shout out the his UK listeners, I reckon that's me! He's getting less biased as he watches and realises our guys are the better team!!
