SF:  (4) Jamie Murray & Bruno Soares (BRA) CR 27 (13+14) vs Raven Klaasen & Michael Venus (RSA/NZL) CR 43 (24+19)

So, Klaasen & Venus despatch the conquerors of Kontinen & Peers (2), Cabal & Farah.

It's now showing on the live scores app. Not a surprise, and a sensible decision.

Yes, showing as that on the ATP live scoreboard.   Shame, but as the addict says, no great surprise & a sensible decision.  He's GOT to look after himself & pick & choose his tournaments carefully.  We don't want him breaking down again.  no

Yes, got to be sensible though he has moved from not yet withdrawn from his QF here and playing Toronto to out of both.

 But he has, at the moment, added Cincinnati. Washington - break - Cincy - break - US Open makes sense.

 Aye, that it is. But I still don't see any harm in extending the "Lucky Loser" principle, so that if a player can't make the start line at the next round, let the losing player take his place. It is, after all, supposed to be about the spectators so depriving the spectators of a game to watch seems silly. (...although I fully agree that players that need rest/ treatment should be allowed to withdraw).

 I like this idea, as Indy says, there would have be be some time rule otherwise the other guy would have made arrangement to leave. Also how would points and prize money work? 1/2 each for that match? abit like the withdrawing from slams rule?

I guess the loser could still not get the points and prize money added for the round they lost ( these all stay with the withdrawn winner ) but could then receive points and prize money for any subsequent win ( but still less these points and prize money associated particularly with the round initially they lost in ). So the total points awarded and prize money awarded would remain unaltered.

 But there would need to be more incentive for them to play the next round, and compensation in case they had booked onward travel/hotels, disruption to next tourney etc. I think some share of prize money or a separate pot of money would be good.

As one who was pretty wary of possibly looking for alternatives to their overall successful partnership I do hope this is going to be a really good few weeks for Jamie & Bruno.

Though I am sure that that is a common sentiment whatever some doubts have been.

Jamie up four places to ninth in today's rankings & Bruno also up four to tenth.  Andy has climbed an incredible 457 places to 375th!  smile
