QF:  (3) Colin Fleming & Ross Hutchins vs James Cerretani & Philipp Marx (USA/GER)

Let's hope they can succeed tomorrow where J&J failed yesterday.

Better start for Colin & Ross than yesterday:  they take the first set by 6-3 (&, I think, two service breaks to one - they surrendered an early break! hmm ). smile

Cerretani & Marx take the second set by the same score, so squeaky bum time once again! hmm

Phew!  Another "brow-mopper", but Colin & Ross prevail by 6-3 3-6 [10-4]. smile

Cermak & Polasek (1) or Granollers & Riba in the semi.

An uneventful opening set ends with Colin and Ross breaking Polasek to 15 to take the opening set 6-4.

Still not even a sniff of a chance for either pair in 2nd set

Colin/Ross 6-4 3*-3

Colin hits his three best returns of the match and they break in the 10th game again to win 6-4 6-4.

They have a splendid knack of striking at the right moment tonight - again the tenth game gives them the decisive break, to make their first ATP Tour final together

Great stuff

Either Kohlman/Waske or Elgin/Kudryravstev (who beat 2nd seeds) in final

I'll second that!     My heart said they could do it, but my head wouldn't let me believe...

Funnily enough, Colin and Ross played these two in a Final (and beat them) 51 weeks ago - but back then it was the Astana Challenger Final, not a main tour Final. Since then they have lost to them in Pingguo but won their last meeting in Nottingham.

Thanks for pointing that out, Steven.  I had a feeling the two pairs had "previous", but I just couldn't be @rsed to check! wink
