QF: (3) Martins Podzus (LAT) WR 537 defeated Neil Pauffley WR 669 by 7-6(5) 2-6 7-6(10)
And to think that Neil led by *3-0 at the start of the decider & had a couple of match points in the TB... He also served 12 double faults to the Latvian's two!
QF: (2) Michael Linzer (AUT) WR 453 defeated (7) Richard Gabb WR 571 by 4 & 5

I almost made the same mistake yesterday, but spotted it in time. Dunno why. I'm , too!
Bit gutted really ... think it must have been a 3 set match too far. Will let you know what Neil says when I speak to him. That's NEIL, not MARCUS... don't even want to think about what it would be like to be Marcus's girlfriend haha!
A real pity after such a good fightback against one of the top seeds (and winning 11 points more than his opponent over the course of the match) - the final tiebreak was the first bit of live scoring I've followed for a few weeks and I lost count of the number of match points they had, though most of them seemed to be on each player's own serve!
