We musn't forget the finances. Dave may be surviving of the prize money (and bonus's) and have to keep playing and therefore not be able to afford training weeks.

SF:  (1) Dave Rice & Sean Thornley CR 455 (226+229) vs Laurynas Grigelis & Henri Laaksonen (LTU/SUI) CR 1752 (542+1210)

Something tells me the Lithuanian/Swiss pair could prove a bit of a handful.  They did for the fourth seeds in their quarter-final...

 Well, Rice & Thornley have dropped the 1st set 6-2.  2-2 in the 2nd as I type.

At 4 games all, the boys dropped serve but, broke back as their opponents served for the match. ......and so into a tie break

.....a match point at *6-5 comes and goes

.....another at 7-6 but against serve

........their opponents take both service points for 7-8

......and David/Sean, lose 7-9 in the tie break.
