Jamie has done really well since he came back from injury. Fingers crossed he can maintain this going into the QF

SMC1809 · All-time great

Jamie's match started and he won the first game before rain stopped play - it seems to be raining all over the world.

There are 7 Brits in the singles QFs of ATP-ranked events for the second week in a row.

Last week, they went 0-7 in the QFs.

Hopefully they'll do a fair bit better than that this week (not least because SFs are where the decent points start in Futures and we have top seeds in 3 Futures, not to mention that Muzz is one of the 7 this week!) but I wonder how many of the QFs will be rain-affected - Dan was the first to get his QF under way and that has got held over until Friday and now Jamie has suffered a rain delay too in what seems like an even more unlikely place to get rained off in!

Shhh · Challenger level

Jamie becmes the first of several (!) British semi finalists today with a 7-5 7-6 (6) win over Martin, saving a set point in the 2nd set tie breaker

A very good win and checking the bet365 stats, he recovered from a break down in both sets - twice in the 1st set in fact!

QF: (1) Jamie Baker WR 222 beat (5) Andrej Martin (SVK) WR 386 (CH 160 in 2011) by 7-5 7-6(5)

SF: (1) Jamie Baker WR 222 v Denis Zivkovic (USA) WR 357 (= CH)

They have met once before, in a junior event on clay in Bolivia way back in 2003 when Jamie was 16 and Denis was 15. Jamie won 6-1 1-2 ret.

What's the story with Denis Zivkovic? In the last 2/3 weeks he's been playing at a new level with a challenger QF and a challenger Win in the past fortnight. On recent form guess he's the favourite.
