Hey, SC, I don't think Evo's done too badly since July !!

Little matter of the US Open and anyway a bit too much doom and gloom about his latest challengers. Pospisil is a bit of an unfair comparison.

Both winning pairs move up a place in the Race - Jamie & John to 11th, Dom & Treat to 13th (up 2 this week) - they could all do with Marrero and Verdasco (in-running 8th) losing to Fognini and Seppi later.

They nearly did, but dipped out in the MTB (7-10). cry

Second set tiebreak...

Untimely df from Treat puts them down a mini break early on and they can't recover it. Bryans take it 4-7 cry

It's their first Masters SF together (in fact, it's their 1st Masters together, so they are 100% in Masters 1000s so far!) and Jamie's 2nd Masters SF - he reached the semis at Indian Wells back in 2008 with Max Mirnyi.

They need 1 more win to move up to 9th in the Race, the title to move up to 8th. In a way, it's a pity Marrero and Verdasco won today, because they are 7th in the Race and now a bit further ahead.

The Race table is now up to date to the end of the QFs - bit.ly/1gqhHkq

Spectator · All-time great

Bryans and Huey/Inglot on serve 5-5.

DWH · Club Coach

Unfortunately they were broken on a deciding point and the Bryans then serve out the set 5-7

Spectator · All-time great

Now 3-3 in second.

One has to like the way they are either beating or having very close matches with the best teams in the world.

DWH · Club Coach

Yep definitely seems like they're getting better and closer as time goes on.

I could be wrong but I think I read this is their second full year together on tour since Dom's big injury.

Jamie and John down a set but up a break in their match. 3-6 5-2

QF: Bob Bryan & Mike Bryan (USA/USA) WR 1 defeated Dominic Inglot & Treat Huey (PHI) CR 57 by 7-5 7-6(4)
QF: Jamie Murray & John Peers (AUS) CR 66 defeated Robert Lindstedt & Vasek Pospisil (SWE/CAN) CR 131 by 3-6 6-3 [10-6]

Creditable performance by Dom & TCH, t'riffic (as 'Appy 'Arry would say) one by Jamie & John!
