great result. I love it when Jamie does well, always brings a huge smile to my face
De Heart is currently ranked 338, so on paper Jamie should win, but I know nothing about his game or how they'd match up. Has De Heart beaten Jamie recently (based on Johnny's comment)?
Either way, go Jamie!

A second straight sets win this year for Jamie against Bozo, who had been on a great run of form with two SFs and one Final in his last five challengers and a win against Gabashvili in R1!
No. 3 seed Bobby Reymolds went out to de Heart, so it was good news all round here.
De Heart beat Jamie 7-3 in a 3rd set tiebreak in Calabasas last month but lost to Bozo in straights last week. So having beaten Bozo in straights here, Jamie should be thinking he has a good chance of gaining revenge on Thursday!

(4)Brendan Evans/Jamie Baker (USA/GBR) def Brian Battistone/Dann Battistone (USA) 6-7(5) 6-2 10-7 Will play :- (WC)Benjamin Rogers/John Patrick Smith (USA/AUS) who had a w/o against (2)Michael Russell/Izak van der Merwe (USA/RSA)
Really good stuff from Jamie just when he needed it most. As Mjd pointed they also play Wild cards in the doubles semi's so a good chance there as well.
