 That is a real shame, hoped Neal and Christian would at least match their seeding

So, just Julian and Lloyd to come and try and join Henry and Harri in the last 8.

Horrible start for Henry and Harri, two breaks down quickly. 5-1 down.

The "Special Ks" Mk II have now beaten the 14th seeds, Krajicek & Mektic, in straight sets!

As Jon suggested earlier, it was a horrible first set for Henry & Harri, but they did eventually turn it round, thank God:

QF:  (1) Harri Heliövaara (FIN) & Henry Patten CR 2 (1+1) defeated (8) Guido Andreozzi & Manuel Guinard (ARG/FRA) CR 33 (16+17) by 2-6 6-4 7-6(10-6)

SF:  (1) Harri Heliövaara (FIN) & Henry Patten CR 2 (1+1) vs (ALT) Thanasi Kokkinakis & Aleksandar Kovacevic (AUS/USA) CR 1892 (1305+587)

No divided loyalties there!

Julian and Lloyd started the same way as H and H yesterday and lost the opener 6-2. Hope they can do the same as H and H in the next two sets! Come on the Brits!!

Dang, that is a real shame. Arevalo and Pavic are a quality pair though and Arevalo, of course, is in the mixed final with Ostapenko.

Henry & Harri are going to have to raise their game significantly if they're to get the better of Arévalo & Pavic.

Repeat of the Queens final. Nice to get revenge. Two top pairs on grass this season, for sure
