Im guessing G and Z pairing will be favourites to take the title and the Aussies wil be home favourites, but lets hope Luke/Jan and Neal/Christian can upset things. Neal/Christian play their semi tonight

Could be a real career defining fortnight for Luke - proving to himself he belongs at the top!

So do Luke/Jan - on Rod Laver against the Aussie WCs!! - at not before13.00 ( 02.00 GMT ), following a legends men"s doubles ( Hewitt & Philippoussis vs Baghdatis & Safin ). Great experience for them, even greater if they could win it.

Neal/Christian are on Margaret Court Arena - at not before 14.00 ( 03.00 GMT ), following Alfie vs Gordon wheelchair QF ( from midnight GMT ) and a legends women's doubles.

Lloyd and Julian are still live WR 1 and 2 respectively.

Zeballos and Granollers would go WR 1 and 2 respectively if they win the SF.

Neal would go WR 1 if he and Christian ( who would be WR 11 ) win the title. That would then mean Brits in the top 3 spots in the rankings.

 I cant recall if Neal has reached 1 before?
