Wow - Miles is a break up in final set 4-2

PS Stircrazy - have you reverted back to last week's doubles rankings?

A bit of 'anything Harry can do, ...' from Miles here? wink He is now one game away. If anything, this would be even more astonishing if he can pull it off, but in winning 23 of his last 25 matches, Vaisse has extricated himself from tricky situations more than once.

Well, this was never going to be easy - 15-40, 2 bps, and Vaisse breaks back

1-6 6-4 5-4*

Vaisse holds but so does Miles, so at worst he will get into a tiebreak.

1-6 6-4 6-5*

Great effort - just needs that mentality to finish off big games now. It will come with experience.

But Miles is 27 . . . I know the age is getting older but he hasn't got THAT long, he better get that experience quick . . .

Real shame for him but still a really good tournament.

Big game for Marcus tomorrow. Close match on rankings and Marcus desperately needs the points if he wants to climb up the rankings.

Seems that Marcus and Lewis have a walkover into the doubles final - (have I missed this being mentioned before ?) - which is nice.

Marcus 1-1 and, yes, he could do with a bit of a points boost, so c'mon Marcus . . . . .

Marcus seems to be struggling for early season form.

Delic breaks him twice to take the 1st set 6-3
