And Jamie mis-hits a return down the line for the winner and the match 5-7 7-6(2) 7-6(4).

Such an exciting match, and a HUGE moment in Jamie's career, first men's doubles Grand Slam quarter final!!

He's been lounging around too low down the rankings for too long, great to see this.

It has taken Jamie a long time to find the right partner but he and John seem to have a great partnership which should become even better with time.

I remember watching a stream of one of their first matches in those early season French indoor events and thought Peers looked a good player, but never thought it would end up like this!

Probably Peya/Soares in the quarter final. The draw is not as open as it has been for some Grand Slams recently, unfortunately for the Brits.

Huey/Inglot 3rd on Court 17 tomorrow, hopefully that is still streamed.

Court 17 is the 4th biggest court to it should be streamed / on red button throughout the event

That was a fantastic win - it'll be a 1st slam QF (in men's doubles, at least!) for both of them

When you think that John hadn't won a match at a slam before this year (though he did reach R2 at the 2013 AO before teaming up with Jamie) and Jamie was sliding out of the top 100, what they have achieved together in the last 6 months is amazing. It just shows what most of us knew all along - that a good doubles career doesn't come from trying to bag a big name partner or constant changes, it comes from finding a partner you gel with and working hard together.

Spectator · All-time great

Really wonderful. Very glad for Messrs Murray and Peers, and Marray and Fleming. Now for the third pair!

Well Granollers played a five set singles match that didn't finish till around 9PM last night so he might not be feeling entirely fresh for today's doubles encounter. Hopefully Dom and Treat can take advantage.
