L16:  (1) Jamie Murray & Bruno Soares (BRA) CR 15 (8+7) vs Marcus Daniell & Marcelo Demoliner (NZL/BRA) CR 101 (46+55)

The outcome of that one is no foregone conclusion.

That was rather easier than I expected:

L16:  (1) Jamie Murray & Bruno Soares (BRA) CR 15 (8+7) defeated Marcus Daniell & Marcelo Demoliner (NZL/BRA) CR 101 (46+55) by 4 & 2  smile

Great to see Jamie playing in South America, obviously he will be well looked after but generally it is the least frequented continent by British players. I would imagine he will get some vigorous backing in the QF up against a couple of Argentinians.

Jamie & Bruno begin their QF by being broken on the deuce point.

0-1*

Clearly very early days ...

Time for an MTB as the Argentines take the 2nd set 7-5. Have to say that Soares will be regretting a simple volley he missed at 4-4* 40-40 on the Molteni serve. Had he made that voley, this match would be in the bag by now.

Are you watching it on TV? What is the channel called, maybe I can find a stream next match.

They might squander a few points, but it's very noticeable just how many MTB's they win !

 

Edit - Actually it's more even than I thought - I make Jamie 11-9 on MTB over the last year
