R1: Jamie Murray & Paul Hanley (GBR/AUS) v Aisam Ul-Haq Qureshi & Jean-Julien Rojer (PAX/NED) 

 

If they can win that the 4th seeds (Bhupathi/Bopanna) likely to wait in R2

Stu Fraser saw the match shown as over on livescor4es too, there must have been a correction. Jamie & Paul win it 14-12 and now move onto the MTB (which could be shorter than the normal tiebreak that has just finished!)

I guess there was a hawk-eye appeal or over-rule then which saved them, but scoreboard definitely went 8-6 to Q&R.

I was half watching that and I'd thought they'd lost, having squandered their massive early lead in the CTB. Had to check the result before I believed you !!! Wonderful news. I am really chuffed about that

I thought for a moment SC had been converted re the way round she expressed a scoreline, but seems she just made a slight mistook  wink

According to the ATP site, Hanley & Murray won   4 - 6   7 - 6 (12)   ( 10 - 6 )

I'm guessing they saved some MPs in there.

That's never going to happen! wink  I was in too much of a rush to post the result before anybody else, that's all. ashamed
