I expected a win & a loss from the two quarter-final matches (while hoping against hope for two wins ), but not the ones that eventually materialised!
SF: Jamie Murray & John Peers (AUS) WR 153 vs Nicolás Almagro & Rubén Ramírez H (ESP/ESP) WR 455
I don't think that's going to be as straightforward as the disparity in ranking would suggest. That said (& I sincerely hope I'm not jinxing their chances by saying this ), Jamie & John do seem to be gelling as a team...

I tuned into bet365 just in time to hear the umpire say "Game set match Mary Pierce" (it really did sound like that with the American accent) then realised it was the right match after all
It'll be Jamie's 13th ATP main tour final (7-5) and John's first, but he did manage to reach no less than 11 Challenger finals last year, winning the majority.

I dozed off in my chair shortly after the match got under way. Delighted to see that someone more alert than I was still on hand to record a victory for the boys!
