And Bloomfield & Ryderstedt take the second set - & consequently the match - 7-6!
And their opponents in the QF will be not the American third seeds, Patrick Briaud & Donald Young, as most would no doubt have expected, but the American WCs, Brendan Evans & Alberto ( ) Francis. Does a SF place beckon, I wonder...

Both Rich & the Baker boy are back in action today, Jamie B at about 19.30 GMT & Bloomers no earlier than 22.30...
* Sorry to hear about Boggo's latest injury, Count...
Bloomfield & Ryderstedt def. Evans & Francis 6-2, 6-3
And their opponents in the SF will be the American WCs, our old friend, Scott Oudsema, & Tim Smyczek, who saw off the American third seeds, Robert Kendrick & Brian Wilson, 6-4 7-6(5). Dare we hope that a place in the final is on the cards?
Baker & Ryderstedt will face either the fourth seeds, John Isner & Travis Parrott, or Hugo Armando & Ivan Miranda (USA/PER), presumably late tomorrow or maybe on Saturday.
