I'm intrigued to know how Jamie D can afford to travel the world playing Challenger level doubles. He can't come close to paying his airline and hotel bills with his prize money. His winnings this year are $6.4k, and I can't imagine he's in the big league when it comes to sponsorship. Is he independently wealthy?
Next year he will have been on the circuit for 20 years.....
SF: (3) Jamie Delgado & John-Patrick Smith (AUS) CR 199 (112+87) defeated (WC) Gong Mao-Xin & Peng Hsien-Yin (CHN/TPE) CR 424 (302+22) by 6-2 3-6 [10-6]
The match to decide whom they'll face in the final will not be played until tomorrow, but it will be either "the Ratis" (1) or a pair of Korean wild cards, Hyeon Chung & Yong-Kyu Lim, who despatched the Russian fourth seeds, Baluda & Kravchuk, in three sets yesterday.
