QF: (1) Dan Cox & Dan Smethurst CR 585 (363+222) defeated Joachim Bjerke & Mons Knudtzon (NOR/NOR) UNR by 6-3 5-7 [10-5]
As in their first round match the Dans seem to have struggled a bit against apparently benign opposition: they had a couple of chances to serve for the match in the second set, but couldn't quite kill off the pesky Norsemen!
