QF:  Sriram Balaji & Marcelo Demoliner (IND/CRA) CR 144 (66+78) vs (2) Harri Heliövaara (FIN) & Henry Patten CR 8 (4+4)

Balaji & Demoliner have just beaten Krawietz & Pütz, the sixth seeds, by 5 & 4...

 Balaji and Demoliner are a pair I think Henry and Harri would have been quite happy to meet at this stage. Clearly not to be underestimated but could have been a lot worse. 

Come on H and H!!

Henry and Harri are now live ranked 1 in the race and only Granollers/Zeballos can overtake them.

 Good stuff - I think you mean the live rankings as opposed to the Race (Bolelli and Vavassori can still go top of the race) but , yes, H and H are lined up to be joint number ones, I think it needs G and Z to retain the title to finish ahead of them?  

Henry and Harri haven't lost a set or, indeed, been close so far this year.

Serene - although the semi against Halys/Herbert or Arends/Pel will be tougher, particularly if it is the French pair with the support behind them

 I think we can put rankings aside for this one - with home support and two very experienced opponents, this will be tight

With Granollers and Zeballos playing Bolelli and Vavassori in the other semi, its a strong last 4
