Make that *5-1. Haase seems to be showing no obvious sign of a reaction to his defeat in three sets (& 2½ hours!) at the hands of Andreas Seppi earlier. In theory, it should have been Seppi back on court now with Igor Zelenay for their first-round encounter with the third seeds, Marc López & Santiago Ventura, not Ken & Robin!

Easy peasy (or relatively, i.e. two service breaks to one )! They take the second set by 6-4 to set up a semi-final clash with Marin Cilic & Colin's partner from last week in Bergamo, Lovro Zovko! Those two made short work of Bednarek & Golubev in their QF yesterday, beating them by 0 & 2!
I had to log off & leave the office at the end of the first set of Col's & Ross's match. Don't ask me why, but I had a nasty suspicion that, when I logged on again at home to check the result, I was going to find that they'd ultimately lost. Very disappointing result.
Make that *4-2! I hope they can keep this up. I was expecting Cilic & Zovko to put up more of a fight, especially as Cilic's 3 & 4 win over Berd-Brain last for only about an hour & 21 minutes! Maybe MC has the singles SF on his mind, which is rather unfair on Zovko...
