Phew, a good win for Aucks & Delgo in the end!

They were leading by a set & 5-4 when I logged off at work to go & catch my train, but I was convinced that I'd get back home to find that they'd crumbled in the second set & then blown the MTB, just as I was convinced I'd come in yesterday to find that they'd lost either the second set, & with it the match, or won it & then blown the MTB, largely because they'd squandered a 2-0 lead in the first set & then lost that on the tie-break!

Oh ye of little faith. wink

Another good win for the guys. Keep it up.

They are the only seeds left in their half of the draw, so should stand a chance of making the final. I hope I ain't put a hex on 'em.

News of the SFs, though the OoP on the site is confusing, as it clearly states that the following games are to be played on Thursday, 7th February...

:

Aucks & Delgo vs Cerretani & Zelenay or Luzzi & Motti (must be the former as they beat L & M 2 & 4 earlier this evening...) first match on the Palazzo dello Sport at 09.00 GMT

Then, not before 15.00 (GMT), but possible change with 19.00 GMT: Smit & van Haasteren (4) vs Kerr & Levinsky (1) or Bolelli & Seppi. Since B & S are Italians & have just beaten K & L 7-6 7-6, my guess would be that that match will be played no earlier than 19.00 tomorrow...! wink

wolf · Tennis legend

1-1 now. Not sure it was a break anymore?

seagull · Hall of fame

No it wasn't - they served first in the set

wolf · Tennis legend

Not sure why I thought they were recieving - mental lapse I think.

2-1 up now - ON SERVE.

seagull · Hall of fame

now 4-3 and a break down

DJ · County player

Not your fault, Wolf, it's the service light on the scoreboard, it's been the wrong way round (when it's been on at all!) throughout this second set - I'd been quite excited till 2-2, when it dawned on me that 4 succesive breaks of serve at this level were somewhat unlikely!
