Whoohoo!!!

Another terrific win for Aucks and Fisher, and again, they played the big points better, especially at the end. They were behind in that CTB but found a way to get back on top and then took in 10-8.

Excellent work

Loving this British doubles revolution - just gives us something extra to cheer :)

Aucks stays WR59 with this win, but puts daylight between himself and those below, and sets himself up to overtake those above if he wins his semi-final.

In the semi-finals they will play the winners of Erlich/Ram and Lindstedt/Aspelin, both of whom have been Jamie/Butorac victims in recent weeks - we're following a bit of a trend here!!

What a very odd scoreline! I wonder what went wrong in the second set?

Never mind, another good tiebreak from James and Ashley.

Up the British doubles revolution.
