Their French opponents broke back, only then to fail to hold their own service: *4-3.

Dustin and Jonny ran out winners 6-3 6-3. smile Thought I'd better update the score, as SC wasn't able to. wink

Cheers, helki. Only just emerged from my meeting! cry At least it was to good news! smile

Now for the tough one:

QF: (1) Dustin Brown (GER) & Jonny Marray vs David Rice & Sean Thornley

At least that means guaranteed Brit interest in one of the SFs... wink

Easy peasy so far for Jonny & Dustin: 6-2 *1-2.

Stircrazy · Tennis legend

David & Sean seem to be making more of a fight of it in the second set: 5-4* to them.

Skups & Jamie D, meanwhile, kicked off their match on the centre court with an early break & now lead Bednarek & Motti by 4-1*. smile

SMC1809 · All-time great

S&D saved at least 2 match points before losing the second set tie-break 11-9 and with it the match.

A good fight though.
