3 more set points at 5-6...., but Sa saves 1 with an ace, and saves the next two as well to force a TB.

M/M have wasted 4 set points now... hope they don't regret it

M/M go 3-1 down, but turn it around and win the tiebreak 7-4.

We're going to a MTB.... come on the boys!!!

Phew! Delighted to be proved wrong: they level the match by taking the tie-break 7-4! smile

Fingers crossed for the MTB...

My SB jumps to 4-3 M/M, but both teams have traded a minibreak already.

Not loking good. cry

7-5 to M&S.

Mirnyi drops serve to take it to *4-6...

And they change ends 5-7* down.... huge point the next one, and they could really do with winning it

ForeverDelayed · Grand Slam Champion

.... which they don't, goes to *5-8, and pressure on Jamie to hold these 2 service points

ForeverDelayed · Grand Slam Champion

And Jamie DF's - first one for the match to give Melo/Sa 4 match points.

1 saved though, but next 2 of their serve... which they take to win

Melo/Sa win 6-3, 6-7(4), 10-6

Disappointing loss in the end, and they failed to break throughout the match despite having 8 chances, but most of them came in the second set which they won.

They got 4 second serves to look at in the MTB, and didn't win any of them which is where they lost the match as they needed to win 1 or 2 of them, plus of course the Murray DF.

Semi final is a good effort though, and Melo/Sa are a good team on grass, but this was a winnable match.

Don't know who Jamie's playing with next week as Mirnyi's still in Wimbledon qualifying, so he'll have to find a new partner, so maybe he'll play with one of the Brits, or team up with Ullyett again, or maybe play with Booty and try and defend the title

Pity! I would have liked to have seen how they were playing together, but not to be. All their matches went to a MTB so at least they've had plenty of time together on the grass. smile
