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!
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.
A triple re-quote of your own message... that's got to be a record.
Have we any stats on this, Steven? An extra-ordinary performance.
