Oli's on the skids: he trails Walter by 4-6 3-4*. cry

Defeat looms ever closer for Oli, though he had BPs in the eighth game: 4-5*.

steven · Tennis legend

Quite a battle as Walter serves for the match - 0-30, 40-30 MP, deuce, MP, deuce again, MP 3, saved again, MP 4, also saved, MP 5, and Walter eventually wins 4 & 4

QF: (1) Ludovic Walter (FRA) WR 334 defeated (Q) Oli Golding WR 709 by 4 & 4 cry

Oli put up quite a battle in the tenth game: I'm supposed to be working, so I lost count of the number of MPs Walter had before he finally converted the one that counted! wink

I think he converted on his 5th, as you can see above, but I was doing other things at the same time too, so all I can say for certain is that Oli saved at least 4 MPs.

Oli may have played poorly in his singles QF, but he & his Belgian mucker must have played out of their respective skins in the doubles semi, as they certainly made up for it:

SF: (1) Andrei Ciumac & Gleb Sakharov (MDA/FRA) WR 806 lost to Joris de Loore (BEL) & Oli Golding WR 1853 by 6-4 16 [8-10]! biggrin

F: Joris de Loore (BEL) & Oli Golding WR 1853 vs (2) Damir Dzumhur & Aldin Setkic (BIH/BIH) WR 954

Spectator · All-time great

So that's four semis, two titles and at the least a final in doubles this year for Mr. Golding.

Wow! Oli & Joris s biggrin I'd like to think I'd've been the first to report the victory, but my electricity supply went off at 11.50 this morning & has only just been restored ( )! Unbelievably . Whatever, well done, lads!
