Jamie to serve for it!

GSM Scotland. 13-11 in the CTB.

Jamie hit the serve out wide, Aucks did really well to get it back, ran back onto court only to change direction as Andy hit is behind him. Hit a stunning cross-court shot to Jamie, who hit a sizzling volley to Greg's feet. Greg threw the racket at it but there was nothing he could do, the match was over!

Some really high quality stuff. Aucks and Jamie are both exceptional doubles players.
