Also in the same quarter:

(3) Scott Lipsky & Jamie Murray (USA/GBR) v Martin Fischer & Philipp Oswald (AUT/AUT)

Lipsky in good form after winning the Rennes challenger with usual partner David Martin.

Del and Jonny 3rd on tomorrow. I think they only have one court on the main site there (presumably another court or two in a different location somewhere) but it seems they will have the benefit of using Hawkeye.

After making hard work of the match after being 6-2 3-0 up, Delgado/Marray eventually came through 6-2 7-6(3).

That's a relief. Now for the other team with a Brit in it to do their stuff and it should make for an interesting QF. wink

Martin Fischer & Philipp Oswald (AUT/AUT) defeated (3) Scott Lipsky (USA) & Jamie Murray by 5 & 4 bleh

You were saying, wolf?

QF: Jamie Delgado & Jonny Marray vs Martin Fischer & Philipp Oswald (AUT/AUT)

Here's hoping for a spot of revenge, methinks...

I'm confused - from Jamie's twitter;

'Got the win today in Orleans. Playing tomoro at 230pm. Holding off on The Wire. made a promise to someone. '
7 minutes ago via web

(edit - that's Jamie Murray)

I think there has been a bit of a mix-up on the Orleans website.

Jamie Murray has tweeted that he and Scott won and the doubles drawsheet, via the ATP links, confirm that.

" Got the win today in Orleans. Playing tomoro at 230pm. Holding off on The Wire. made a promise to someone. about 2 hours ago via web"

Murray/Lipsky will play Delgado/Marray in the quarter-final.

Sorry for the confusion, people. It was entirely unintentional: I reported the result as it was showing on the doubles DS on the Orléans site just before I last posted which I visted because there was no sign of the result on the ATP site (I know they played on a different court today, where there was clearly no live scoring & the results there weren't being picked up the LS for the court that was working furious

).

So pleased it/I was wrong, though! biggrin

P.S. Which ATP link are you talking about, Daisy? Just checked the combi & the main doubles DSs there's no hint of today's results! Tomorrow's OoP is no help, either, as it shows an "either/or" as Delgo's & Jonny's QF opponents... confuse

Agree Jamie says on his web site that he & Lipsky won, though. wink

Wow! Delgo & Jonny had better be on their mettle tomorrow. The Frog WCs have just seen off the Ratis by 0 & 3! disbelief
