Jamie Murray - Mixed Doubles Specialist!

It does help teaming with Huber though, who's probably the best ladies doubles player around - Srebotnik and Zimonjic will be tough though if they have to play them

1 set all at the moment

Murray/Huber took the first 7-5 in the tiebreak then Srebotnik/Zimonjic struck back with an 11-9 tiebreaker in the second!

It appears a MTB is in place to decide the match, the scoreboard has stuck at *3-0 to Murray/Huber though

They trailed 9-6* facing 3 match points, but somehow turned it around and won the match tiebreak 11-9!

Fabulous win and onto the semis they go!

And Jamie & Liezel march into the SFs, beating Srebotnik & Zimonjic 7-6(? the LS froze at that point!) 6-7(9?  LS froze again!) [11-9] to set up an appointment with Booty & Jill Craybas. biggrin  What a battle (they retrieved two service breaks in the second set & had a match point in the tie-break!) an opportunity for an appearance in another Grand Slam final for Jamie...! pray.gif

Sounds like a great win for them, especially after seemingly blowing match points in the 2nd set TB, and then turning it around from 9-6 down in the MTB.

Great chance to move into another Grand Slam final, as they should beat Butorac and Craybas given that Murray and Huber are the better doubles players

An excellent win and one I wasn't expecting.clueless.gif I just hope complacency doesn't set in and they think the hard work's been done. wink On reflection, I can't see Liezel allowing that to happen. Booty may think he has a point to prove!

The match has appeared out on Court 7 due to the long matches on Grandstand today. A hold each and it is 1-1.

And they book a place in the final with a 6-3, 6-4 win (apparently a big serve from Jamie to finish).

They play the 6th seeds Paes & Black in the final, Black being Huber's womens doubles partner. That match will be played on Thursday.
