Excellent win.

What a great win for them!
Beating an inform pair of that quality is impressive.
Ross could be the GB No 1 by xmas at this rate.

DUSTY DICK · Club Coach

That is just wow. I said Ross must be full of confidence after China and this shows that it was not just a one week wonder. Really hope they can make the final and get a crack at the title.

Happycynic · Pro player

CH ranking for Ross assured now- should be mid 60s with this win.

Great for him.

Drew · Oct 9, 2008

Ross is really chuffed they got through a really tight match. He said they played solid throughout. He is looking forward to the SF with confidence.

Fingers crossed for H&H to bring home another title.

To recap :

Stephen HUSS (AUS) / Ross HUTCHINS (GBR) v Michael LLODRA (FRA) / Fabrice SANTORO (FRA) (3)

Second last on court 1 Friday.

Santoro also plays in singles two matches prior to the dubs.

Well done to Ross on another good week, and it's a great result to get past Youzhny and Zverev, and ever since winning in China he's been full of confidence it seems.

Santoro and Llodra will be a tough match today though, but they could get the win if they play as well as they can

Damn. Lost the tie-break 7-4. They seemed to be on top for most of the set so can still turn this round.
