Ashley has just broken back - 6-3 3-6 *3-4

.

.

.

Ash breaks again and serves for the match at *6-5 but this time Alex breaks back!

Tiebreak time (meanwhile, the top seed, who won the other semi in straight sets, must be enjoying the spectacle of the Brits exhausting each other! )

All 8 seeds reached the QF, and...

The top 4 seeds reached the SF, and...

The top 2 seeds have reached the final...

We can't have a tournament totally following the seeding script !

In his final, Alex is a set and a break up

(will this be Indy's 'red herring' result?)
