I have been watching Eurosport for over half an hour now. They have talked about Andy, Nishikori, Delpo, Stan etc. and then had a build up to the women's matches as well. Not a single mention that Jamie is even on court.

So for those that don't already know, Jamie/Bruno took the 1st set easily, winning it 11-9 in the breaker.

That was a turvy topsy breaker to say the least! Jamie and Bruno trailed 0-3 and then reeled off six straight points to give themselves 3 set points and then promptly lost 4 points in a row to put the breaker back on serve at 6-7. Thank goodness that after all that excitement it was their opponents who blinked first.

They took the set on their 5th SP of the TB ( the first 3 from *6-3 ). They faced 4 SPs ( 2 from *5-6 15-40 and 2 more in the TB ).

7-6(9) 2-6 *1-1

Hopefully they've parked the second set up an alley and left it behind.

4-1 now and not meaning to jinx anything but 3 pretty straightforward holds in this set. Just 2 more needed although an insurance break would be nice also.

OK, time someone said that they won

QF: (4) Jamie Murray & Bruno Soares (BRA) CR 12 (4+8) beat Chris Guccione & Andre Sa (AUS/BRA) CR 114 (46+68) 7-6(9) 2-6 6-3

Mahut & Herbert are a set up in the QF that determines their SF opponents.

That will do very nicely.  All we need now if for "baby bro" to follow Jamie into the SFs.
