And my prediction comes to pass: Lipsky & Ram defeated de Voest & van der Merwe by 7-6(5) 6-3, so

SF: (1) Scott Lipsky & Rajeev Ram (USA/USA) vs (4) Jamie Murray & Alexander Peya (AUT) wink

Smidster · Challenger level

Murray/Peya currently in action and lead 2-1 on serve

seagull · Hall of fame

Currently 5 all

Well, it went according to seeding. Scoring was tight - 64 versus 69 points overall and 36 points each team in the 2nd set which went to a tie-break.

Jamie is certainly doing better out of playing ATP250's rather than Challengers.
90 points from this event (best he could have done via this weeks challengers would be 35 points for a Semi placing).
Money is better too - a share of almost $9000 rather than $1620.
Hope he can keep it going.

Getting into Rotterdam with Andy could be good but it depends on securing an 'on-site' place ....... that'll have to be done by the tour managers methinks 'cos Andy is still in London and Jamie is in Jo'burg.
