I'm loving the chance to watch these two win again and really enjoying seeing doubles fully covered by Sky. I'm heading over to the O2 for the first semi finals session on Sunday so fingers (and toes) crossed that's the one Jonny & Freddie are in
Has anyone else noticed the stats - for both these matches the stats along would suggest the result should be the other way around - they are yet to beat their opponents on total points won. I guess it really shows how good they are on the points that count the most!

Really thrilled for them. Presumably the fact that Mr Marray would now be (I think?) in the top-50 even if all his Wimbledon points dropped off (not that I think that's likely) should help him land a doubles partner for next year .....
Do feel for him whenever interviewers ask about the partnership and why they work so well together. It must be really hard not to wish that things could continue! On the flip side, if Nielsen is playing Challengers next year so that he can get his singles ranking up, would guess that every Challengers-level player will be trying to be his partner ... (as, Twitter would suggest, a number already are)
The boys lost the first set 6 - 3, broken twice. Have just broken though in the 2nd set for * 2 - 1 ( edit : OK, now 3 - 1 * )
Whilst they are already in the SF, you actually don't get ranking points or prize money for that as such, just get them based on group wins, SF win and Final win, so it would be good to add to the coffers by winning this final group match.
