Hate to see you posting alone.

Another good win for the pair. Fingers crossed for another round of doubles successes in the Challenger tournaments. wink

Aw, how kind! smile

Won't be any sign of me on this thread ter-morrer: no sign of Aucks & Torres on tomorrow's OoP, so it's a fair assumption they'll be playing their SF on Saturday! wink

Well done to Aucks for another good week, and hopefully he can reach another final to keep the run going.

And that semi-final will be played at about 14.00 GMT today.

It's virtually impossible to make out what's going on in the match, as the bottom fifth of the tiny picture on the site which purports to show the live score refuses to load, but I think Aucks & Torres may have won the semi 7-6(?) 6-3... confused

Ah, great news!

Serves me right for relying solely on the Eckental site!

Just for the record, Aucks' & Torres' opponents in tomorrow's final will be the second seeds, Yves Allegro & Horia Tecau (SUI/ROU). At the risk of jinxing their chances of taking the title, they surely have nowt to fear & nowt to lose now! wink

But all to gain.

The second seeds did, however, have an easy ride in their SF. They only had to play 3 games & then their opponents retired. furious

Nice one Aucks!

Let's have the title

Sadly, they couldn't quite pull it off, losing 3-6 6-3 [7-10].
