QF: Rogerio Dutra da Silva & Alejandro González (BRA/COL) lost to (2) Jonny Marray & Jamie Murray by 6-7(3) 6-4 [10-8]
Phew! *mops brow* I was convinced they were going to blow it after they squandered an early lead in the first set & one of something like 5-1 in the MTB! In the match to decide who their SF opponents will be, de Voest & van der Merwe currently lead the fourth seeds, Nielsen & Rettenmaier, by 6-2 *1-0...
Jamie & Jonny are the second seeds & scheduled to take on Dustin Brown & Sandro Motti (JAM/ITA) in R1, which won't be easy. In the other half of the draw, Chris Eaton, interestingly, has teamed up with promising young Aussie, Bernie Tomic, & they take on the local pair, Giuseppe Menga & our old friend, "Stoppers", in the first round, while Delgo & Goody face the Finnish pair, Harri Heliövaara & Juho Paukku. Fingers crossed...
Chris & Bernie are through to the QF by a walkover! It'll be a tough match for them, though, as they have to do battle with the Austrians, Peya & Slanar, who've just seen off the top seeds, Martin & Ram, by 4 & 4! If perchance they should triumph, however, they'll then have to face those bloody Finns, Heliövaara & Paukku!

De Voest & van der Merwe it is: they won by 2 & 3. M&M are now the only seeded pair left in the draw!

Interestingly, Peya & Slanar are currently battling it out for a place in the SF of the singles, with Peya, the seventh seed, leading by 6-4 *0-1 after 50 minutes. Hope it goes to three sets...

And a three-setter it was which Peya won in 2 hours 31 minutes & 27 seconds.
