Henry and Harri lose the opening set 6-4. I hadn't paid much attention, but Arevalo and Pavic are having a very good season and lead the live race as it stands, and seem to be playing well so far this Wimbledon as well.

 That's now 2 live race leading pairs Henry & Harri have beaten here since Bolelli & Vavassori were the race leaders at the start of Wimbledon. 

 on fire!

Neal and Michael V are in play right now, 5-4 up but the Germans are serving.

If they get through this we are looking at two Brits opposing in the semis

I suppose we're at least guaranteed a finalist...  The other semi will be contested by the top seeds, Granollers & Zeballos, & Max Purcell & Jordan Thompson (15).

Interesting stat from Peter Fleming near the end of the commentary:  the Germans had played eight sets without dropping their service & only one of those sets had been resolved with the need for a tie-break!

Marvellous! Like Henry and Harri, Neal and Michael are in great form and arguably the best across the grass season (Julian and Robert might contest that?) - should be a great semi!

Fantastic result for Harri and Henry! I'd checked the thread when Jon had made the post about them losing the first set and therefore wasn't hopeful, so it was lovely to come back and see this result! They really are on a roll against the top pairs.

And great work from Neal and Michael, too!

No idea who to root for in the semi.

 I would give Neal and Michael the edge: two successive Tour titles and a Wimbledon semifinal. I think Julian and Robert will be disappointed at their loss on grass to Reboul and Doumbia despite their being seeds.

Just in case anyone else is still up and in reach of London, a few more tickets for Court 1 today, Thursday (men's doubles SFs and Marcus & Lissey's mixed SF) have just been posted. I got a single ticket but there is still at least one single ticket and multiple pairs of tickets left by the looks of it, if you get in quickly -peak46.secutix.com/pkpcontroller/wp/aeltc/index_en.html

Shame for Neil and Michael, but GO, Harri and Henry! Given they've beaten the two race-leading pairs to get to the final, I think they have an excellent chance of winning this one!

So thrilled for Harry and Henry; they were very dominant and Henry in particular was exceptional.

Thrilled for Henry and fingers crossed we can keep a British players name on the Men's Doubles Trophy

Some doubles movements post Wimbledon:

Joe and Neal have pulled out of Bastad, not sure I can see that they have a pre Olympics event left to warm up with?

Gstaad event - Jamie is playing with Pavlasek there

Hamburg - Rajeev is with Krajicek, prepping for Olympics

Atlanta - Julian (w Robert) and Henry (w Harri) are both entered (Henry and Harri out of Newport, obviously)

Kitzbuehl - Rojer is playing w/Haase, presumably they are the Dutch Olympic pairing? Lloyd is with Middelkoop
