Well done, guys.

Colin is defending 45 points this week and 150 points next week.

Well, today's win means those 45 points are covered.

Hey, yes indeed !

For some weird reason I was thinking this was a challenger in spite of minor details like the thread title, so I was thinking to myself need to be going deep here.

Still be good to go deep of course in itself and with next week's points defense in mind.

Nice to see Colin and Jonny back to winning ways after 3 very poor results in those challenger events.

All seeded pairs were defeated today.

SF: Colin Fleming & Jonny Marray CR 143 (78+65) v (WC) Marius Copil & Adrian Ungar (ROU/ROU) CR 645 (481+164)

5th match tomorrow (after the 4 singles QFs) not before 18:00 local time (16:00 BST).

Edit: sorry, couldn't resist the temptation to add the Romanians' actual combined ranking.

The Romanian WCs dumped out Bops & Mergea (2) in straight sets & try as I might, I cannot suppress a certain feeling of Schadenfreude. wink

I can't help feeling that that's actually not the upset it may appear, given the surface & Colin's & Jonny's patchy record so far.

No not a huge upset considering the Romanian's results so far this week. Colin and Jonny played pretty well for that match too...

RJA · Hall of fame

To be honest pretty much anything Colin and Jonny pick up during the clay season is a bonus. The grass season (now extended by a week) is where I would really hope that they could pick up big points and set themselves up for the rest of the year.
