Hutchins' match is on Court 2 at 2:30pm GMT tommorow. Also good news from today, the 3rd seeds Levinsky and Skoch, who Hutch and De Voest were due to meet in the quarter-finals, have falled by the wayside, beaten 4&3 by Cerretani and Polasek.

Seemingly half an hour late, but match on LS, Dodig & Skugor to serve.

Hutch and De Voest broke in the first game on the sudden death point and then Hutch held to 15. 2-0.

Not too surprising a statistic that, is it Wolf, when you consider the Croats had served 5 aces by the middle of their third service game - including one on second service!

Impressive stuff from Hutchins then. I wonder when he's going to overtake Shaggy in the rankings.

Another tough set or two to go here of course ...

For Hutch and De Voest, 80% of first serves in, 85% of points won on first serve, 70% of points won on second serve. Only 29% of return points won, but crucially 2/2 break points.

This win puts Hutchins (to use DJ's terminology) provisionally at no.83 in the rankings, a new career high.

Seppi beats Hewitt and Nadal one week and loses to De Voest the next. hmm.

And they are back on court today to play the dangerous floaters, Cerretani & Polasek, in the fourth match on Court 1.  It follows three singles, the third of which will be getting under way any moment now.  Their match is followed by another doubles & then, finally, Aucks & Gremelmayr vs Allegro & Peya!
