soggo on the way out as south is broken. wassen has upped his leve (although he hit a smash striaght at boggo and didnt seem to apologise), south has made a few too many errors this set, and boggo's movement around the net isnt good enough really.

wassen serving for the match

game over. 75 63. too good in the end. boggo and south just game unstuck and their lack of normal dubs game showed. south started putting lost of fh's into the net, and alex sometimes took up the wrong position. wassen and tana came up with some stunning shots at times though, nothing alex and mel could do with those.

Good win for Ken and Katie, especially for Ken after his loss earlier in the day.

Shame for Boggo and South to lose, but they didn't play the big points well enough in the end to win that match, as Wassen and Tanasugarn played a good match between them.

Jamie Murray out on court now in a match that he and Huber really should win.

Jamie & Liezel lost the first set 6-2 but took the 2nd set 7-6(7), they were 6-1 up in the TB - pegged back to 6-6, saved a match point and then took their 6th set point with an AMZAING point full of brilliant net play.

Into the decider.

GSM Murray/Huber 2-6, 7-6(7), 6-1 - saved 4 mp

Only joined in the second set TB, but they played really well from what I saw and there was some great doubles play.

Jamie Murray...mixed doubles specialist!!

Only caught the match from the beginning of the tiebreak but a great win for Murray and Huber, especially having had to save three match points, and if Jamie had blown that lead in the tiebreak, then that probably would have killed his confidence off for good.

Fleming/Borwell 3rd on court 11
Hutchins/Keothavong TBA
Auckland/Baltacha TBA

(also TBA is Andreev's 1st round XD match... but seeing as his singles is 4th on court, not sure quite how they plan to fit that in, unless it starts very late or every match on court is very quick)

Jamie played much sharper than ive seen for a while but Huber was majestic towards the end

Jamie and Liezel only survived because of a combination of Liezel's steadiness and Raquel Kops-Jones playing nervously from the critical 12th game of set 2, when they had 15-40 to win it (Kops-Jones had been impressive up to that point, holding serve with ease and being strong at the net, but faded afterwards). Nevertheless it is the sort of win, plucked from the jaws of defeat, that might do wonders for Jamie's fragile confidence. There was a big difference in how Liezel + Jamie were playing at the end compared with much of the first two sets.

I hope only that they can keep it up in the next round, where they face a stiff challenge in the shape of the tenth seeds, Yan & Zimonjic! pray.gif

*  Is it just me or can anyone else not find a printable draw for the Mixed on the Wimbledon site? confuse

Excellent win, coming back like that should do wonders for Jamie's confidence - just what he needed at the moment. smile.gif

There is no mixed doubles link on the printable draws page at the moment (the same was true of the singles main draws for the first couple of days) but the pdf does exist and it's easy enough to guess the URL

Fleming/Borwell against Vemic/Pennetta on court now.

3-2 down in the first set having been broken in the opening game though.
