Liam Broady & Dominic Thiem vs Jean Anderson & the South African player RJA likes to call "ROFLMAO" (  ) was a set all on the bet365 LS just now, but has disappeared.  No idea who won the MTB...

Liam & Dominic lost.

Also, I think you're mixing me up with RJA.

QF:  Ed Corrie & Dan Smethurst WR 1186 vs (2) Jean Anderson & Ruan Roelofse (RSA/RSA) WR 775

Dan takes the first set 6-4.

Dan wins 4 games in a row from 2-4 to win 6-4 6-4

In the SF, he'll play Roflmao who had a w/o against Desein.

Tweet from Dan

"Took down @raffel18 today, he smashed 3 rackets in one game and whacked 3 balls out the court, the guys a NUT JOB!"

I see that both Dan and Roelofse are due to be still around here next week. Plenty time to exchange more pleasantries on or off the court  

Great to see 3 Brits in foreign futures finals.  Hope the finals go a bit better for Dan and Morgan.

Dan though does meet the top seed, who is currently ranked precisely 200 places above him.

(1) Radu Albot (MDA) WR 257  vs  (7) Dan Smethurst (GBR) WR 457
