1-2: A nets tricky reflex volley

2-2: D serve down the centre, then D hits superb angled cross-court bh volley winner

2-3: D serve, volleys are exchanged at the net then Kerr hits a topspin lob winner

3-3: K serve, superb bh return down the line from A. M gets it but can only net

3-4: K serve, D sliced bh return is just wide. Both A and D are unhappy about the call

3-5: double fault from Aucks

4-6: A nets forehand

4-7: M serve down the centre, D nets bh return

5-7: D serve, M backhand return is just wide

5-8: D serve, K goes down the line with a forehand and A nets the volley

5-9: K serve, defensive lob from A but K puts away smash

5-10: Big serve down the centre, D can only net return

Did great to get to that final, beating 2nd and 3rd seeds along the way. Perhaps this time next year we can expect Jamie to be cmopeting with and beating doubles pairings with the calibre of Dlouhy and Vizner!

This will push him back to British No1?

Just noticed it was Butorac and Parrott. Probably should have given them a slightly tougher match!
