If Boggo served first like he had throughout the match then I think it would have been him serving at 7-8... someone else check the maths on that though...

First blood to Coetzee & Murray in their QF against García López & Verdasco: they take the first set 6-4. smile

And at *3-2 in the second rain stops play! Doubt there'll be any more today...! hmm

Looks like they're on the verge of the win so a shame that the rain came down and stopped them getting to the semi finals.

They're on not before 6pm tomorrow on a court TBA, but with Verdasco playing singles against Simon not before 4.30 it could be on a bit later than that

The rain wasn't coming down that hard, it was more the bad light. The dark clouds did nothing for the light at all. It was a good thing the players were all wearing white in all honesty!!!!!

Not surprised they ended it where they did but I was mightily impressed with Jamie actually! Last year, I thought he and Butorac struggled a little bit and didn't think much to him at all. This time, he was much more comfortable on his serve, he was returning MUCH better and he generally played a lot better than the last time. Strange that he's not getting the results with Mirnyi really.

Anyone know why the live scoreboard showed the M&C v G&V match about to begin and then it disappeared?

Drew · Jun 19, 2008

Atp live has it as 6-4 4-4

angry1 · Lower Club Player

It now claims M&C won 10-8 in the 3rd It was jumping several points at a time so may be wrong.

Drew · Jun 19, 2008

Atp live confirm they won 6-4 4-6 10-8 !

Thank goodness, I thought my computer had gone on the blink. weirdface

I think they will have to up their game a little in the SF. Melo and Sá didn't look all that great against Boggo and Hutch, but they've had a day off after a relative easy win against Benneteau and Mahut.

The match is last on CC tomorrow.

Great news to come home to after an evening out with friends. smile

That said, I agree with you, helki, that they're going to have to pull their socks up, if they're to get past Melo & Sá tomorrow! Golden opportunity, however, for Jamie to defend his half of the title if they can, with the unseeded Aussies, Hanley & Perry, or the fourth seeds, Soares & Ullyett, on the other side of the net in the final on (presumably) Saturday...

Nearly there: the boys have just polished off M&S 4 & 5 in an hour & 18 minutes!

Their opponents in the final, pretty much as expected, will be Soares & Ullyett, who saw off H&P 4 & 4. Just one more hurdle, lads...

Great win by the boys today and by the look of the scoreboard they absolutely dominated the match, and it could have been by a wider margin than it was.

And for once.... he didn't play a MTB!!!

I think they'll win the final as they look to have got better over the week and Jamie will want to defend his title as he heads into Wimbledon
