Ah well, A & P are the 4th seeds & at least it makes it easier, should BB & Lapentti get through to the SFs by beating Fognini & Hartfield tomorrow...

* Looks as though you won the p1ssing competition, wolfie! Congratulations, no wonder you're a "Pro player"... wink

Murray and Lapentti against Fognini and Hartfield are due on now, but as Fognini only completed his singles match about 25 minutes ago [he lost 6-3, 6-3] maybe they will give him a little more rest.

Fognini and Hartfield take first set 6-4

Murray and Lapentti finish it off 11-9 biggrin

A good win for Nico and Jamie.

Now for the conquerors of JPB and Ross.

A further experience of the red dirt for Murray senior.

They were 7-4 up in the CTB, lost 5 points in a row to be 9-7 down, and then won the next 4 points to take it 11-9.

Yikes! Potentially two matches for the boys today:

Central 19.00 GMT:

Lapentti/Murray v Acasuso/Prieto (4)

Not before 21.00 GMT

[Ventura v Mónaco]

[Máximo] González/Mónaco v Lapentti/Murray OR Acasuso/Prieto

* Given that Hutch & JPB almost nicked it against A & P, that SF would seem to be not unwinnable...

imoen · Admin: Moderator+Tennis Legend

yeah, BUT A&P are the defending champions so they a) are established as a pair and b) really like these courts and this tournament.

whatever happens but Hutch and Murray have had good weeks and good preparation for the DC I reckon. Still would be nice if Jamie could start winning tournaments again

Well done to Murray and Lapentti!

RobC · All-time great

Jamie and Nicolas lost the first set 4-6, but have just broken to go 2-0 up in the second.
