Jamie and Bruno have only really been troubled on serve in one game, the one immediately after the break in the second.

They had break chances at 6-5 in the first set and then in the game they broke. It's been very tight

No blinking from either team. Tie break.

Jamie and Bruno have not been broken in the entire match. Will be gutted if they go out after that

Won't see much better doubles play anywhere than Jamie in this tiebreak. Stunning

Absolutely, SC.

Of all the French pairs to make the semis, you've got the guy with a completely singles style of play and a kid.

Most bizarre - but doubles often seems to throw up weird scratch pairings who win (not that this is scratch, I know they played once together last year and lost in R1 but it's a weird pairing to have got this far, that's for sure....)

Great

I am sure the title very much comes first in his thoughts, but Jamie will now hit a GB ATP doubles ranking high of WR 6 'just' for reaching the SF. If he and Bruno win the title he will be WR 2.

I'd go so far as to say that the semi-final line-up as a whole is something of a surprise - not that I'm complaining about Jamie & Bruno more than justifying their seeding, you understand! wink  They are, in fact, the highest-ranked pairing left, with Pablo Cuevas & Marcel Granollers (16) the only survivors in the bottom half (vs Nestor & Stepanek) after they took out Pospisil & Sock (9) - Indy's favourites to progress (though I agreed with him there)! - in three sets in their QF.  Incredibly, the French pair dumped out Cabal & Farah (12) in three sets in the third round before excelling themselves by despatching the top seeds, JJR & Tecau, in their quarter-final!
