That's a good win for the pair and perhaps importantly, in the latter part of the match, Jamie was playing really well so perhaps he's getting his confidence back to take to the mens doubles.

Hopefully Liezel will be okay as well as it would be a shame for her to have to scratch now, and if she feels she can only play one event, I would imagine the ladies doubles would come first.

I'd imagine they'd be back on tomorrow... presumably on centre court after the ladies semi finals.

Neither Jamie or Dlouhy are left in the mens doubles where the semis will be tomorrow, while Liezel in the semi's of the ladies doubles, but she and Black play the Williams's, so that will be Friday, so they'll probably play it tomorrow.

Have they been given a w/o to the semis or is Ceefax playing with me?

No confirmation of this on the Wimbledon website, but given that the other three mixed doubles quarter finals are being played tomorrow and they are not on the schedule, it would appear it could be the case.

Would seem strange to delay their match until Friday for no obvious reason which would surely disadvantage them.

I was puzzled that, unlike the other pairs, they appeared to have no match tomorrow according to the OoP.  I visited the Times site to check whether there was any mention of yesterday's win & found this short piece by Alyson Rudd which confirms the walkover, courtesy of an injury to one or other of their scheduled opponents, the 15th seeds, Dlouhy & Benesova! biggrin Absolutely delighted by today's win. w00t.gif

Murray & Huber play the 9th seeds Mark Knowles & Anna-Lena Groenefeld (BAH/GER) in the SF who had an inspired comeback win over the defending champions and 2nd seeds Bob Bryan & Sam Stosur today.

They play on a court TBA tomorrow, looks like they will stick them on Centre Court if the mens singles is over fairly quickly as there are 4 matches on Court 1.

Sorry Wolf I think you'll find they are playing Petchey & Rusedski, that's what the BBC says anyway and i'm sure they wouldn't get it wrong. I'm all for getting more Brits in the latter stages but I think it's taking it a bit far.

Wonder who'll be wearing a skirt anyway, Greg or Mark?

I'd love to think that, because they won't now face a replay of last year's semi against Bob Bryan & Sam Stosur, they stand a better chance of reaching the final. pray.gif

Knowles and Groenefeld played very well yesterday to come back, I was lucky enough to be there watching and it was by far the most entertaining match of the day on Court 1, both pairs were clearly having fun and playing some great tennis. They could be a tough match up for Murray/Huber, especially when you remember Huber is playing in the women's doubles earlier in the day.

Leander Paes & Cara Black comfortably won their semi, so that's who Jamie & Liezel will play in the final if they win today. That would be a repeat of the US Open final last year.

Hopefully Liezel can do what her womens doubles partner Black did and put her disapointment of being crushed by the Williams sisters in their semi earlier.

Murray/Huber v Knowles/Groenefeld is now confirmed as the next match on Centre Court.
