Ken Skupski re. yesterday, after OEM questioned how Dan could have lost so badly: "Impressive performance from Herbert yesterday. Play to a very high level throughout."

And to put Dan's defeat even further in context, Herbert's just beaten ERV by 1-6 6-4 6-4! disbelief

Divided loyalties in the semi bleh:

SF:  (3) Jamie Delgado & Ken Skupski vs (2) Dustin Brown (GER) & Jonny Marray

Interestingly, as ill luck would have it, Jamie & Ken & Dustin & Jonny are the only seeded pairs left in the draw, the top seeds, Emmrich & Marx, having succumbed to the alternates, Grigelis & Ignatik, in the quarter-final today & the fourth seeds, Zelenay & Zovko, likewise to ERV & Marc Gicquel.  Danger lurking in the top half of the draw, whoever gets through to the final from the bottom half! hmm

Jonny & Dustin have just taken the first set tie-break by 7-2.  I think Delgo & Skups served for it at 6-5, but were broken.

 

Edit:  the LS has just changed the TB score from 7-1 to 7-2!

They were in danger of handing the break straight back when Jonny went 15-40 down on his service, but he eventually dug himself out of the hole:  4-1*.

Final:  (ALT) Laurynas Grigelis & Uladzimir Ignatik (LTU/BLR) vs (2) Dustin Brown (GER) & Jonny Marray

The Lithuanian/Belarussian combo may be alternates, but they took out Gicquel & ERV by 6-4 5-7 [15-13] in their semi, so will be no pushovers...
