Chaplin & Mitchell finally met their match. Trouble is...
SF: Quentin Halys & Stefan Kozlov (FRA/USA) CR 738 (334+404) vs (Liam Broady & Guilherme Clezar (BRA) CR 641 (388+253)
& Brydan's not going to be there to offer a few insights into how to deal with Halys... Halys & Kozlov dumped out the top seeds, O'Brien & Roelofse, in their first round match...

the commentator is confirming that Kozlov has pulled out of the doubles (after retiring in his singles), due to a heat related problem.

Hence, Liam is into the final !!! smile

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

it's been a really gutsy performance from both players, in what is obviously horribly hot conditions for tennis.

But, net net, Brydan lost the first set in a TB

And won the second set in a TB (after the Indian player served for the match).

So into a hot and tiring third.....

And the second of the Brits in the singles dips out:

QF: Ramkumar Ramanathan (IND) WR 214 defeated Brydan Klein WR 260 by 7-6(5) 6-7(3) 6=2

A win here over JPS would be a nice consolation with a side helping of vengeance for that agonizing singles loss in the first round.

Unfortunately, I seem to have jumped the gun a bit: Matt Reid & JPS have yet to play their SF against Sekou Bangoura & David O'Hare (4). That will happen tomorrow.

Liam's final is just about to start.

On the ATP livestream.

First set down the pan by 4-6. cry

thejester · Satellite level

Lost 6-4 6-2. Still, a nice consolation of $1550 for Liam after a really gutting loss in the singles.

Stircrazy · Tennis legend

Final: (2) Matt Reid & John-Patrick Smith (AUS/AUS) CR 276 (125+151) defeated Liam Broady & Guilherme Clezar (BRA) CR 641 (388+253) by 4 & 2 cry

Still not a bad week for the boys.

Spectator · All-time great

Not at all - especially since JP Smith, from what I've seen of his play, is way underranked in doubles. On to the next!
