Murray and Huber beat the 2nd seeds 6-4 7-5

Surprised they won this as what I saw of the match they were being outplayed, and very lucky to stay in the second set as they were *1-4 down, facing a break point to go 5-1 down.

Must have improved to get the break back though, as this is a good win against a top team, and another semi final is great for Murray, and it's looking more and more likely he can retain the title.

He does seem to enjoy taking Huber's shots for her though, which I think may eventually cost them unless he stops doing that

A bit fortuitously, perhaps, but a win's a win on any stage!  Never look a gift horse in the mouth & all that...!   Their opponents in the SFs will be either the unseeded Bob Bryan & Sam Stosur (USA/AUS) or the ninth seeds, Andy Ram & Nathalie Dechy (ISR/FRA).

How on earth are Bryan and Stosur unseeded?

She left him in no doubt how she felt about  it.
Not the happy partnership  of last year!

Yes, I noticed the perfunctory handshake at the end of their quarter final win.  Whole atmosphere looked different from with Jelena last year.

OK, she's a married woman, so flirting is maybe not quite in order, but still......

I've a feeling they might both beg to differ - from this evening's London Lite:

It's not all bad news for the Murrays as Jamie reaches semi

JAMIE MURRAY managed to do something brother Andy couldn't when he reached the Wimbledon semi-finals last night. Linking up effectively with new partner, Liezel Huber, in the mixed doubles, the 14th-ranked pairing upset N° 2 seeds, Daniel Nestor and  Chia-Jung Chuang, 6-4 7-5 on Court Two, keeping alive Murray's bid to retain the title he won with Jelena Jankovic last year.

Murray and South Africa-born American Huber broke four times, dropping their own service only twice, setting up a last-four meeting with either Bob Bryan and Samantha Stosur or Andy Ram and Nathalie Dechy.

Huber said: "We're a good combination. He's a lot more laid back than me, but that's what I need because I'm pretty high-strung. Because he's laid back, he probably needs somebody to get him in gear. It works well."

Jamie said: "I enjoy playing with Liezel, especially when we keep winning matches. It's a good surface for us to play on. I said before that I didn't expect to win it again, but I think we have a very good chance of doing well. It would be great to be back there and play for the title again. It's only two games away now."

*  My bold.  I think Jamie actually meant two matches, but who am I to argue?
