Tough match against the 7th seeds. They will do well to take it to 5 sets. Hope I am wrong. Would be good to have other Brit interest other than Andy.

My head says they will loose is 3 but my heart says the win win in 5...take ur pick

Match is on tonight last on court 13.

Isn't it 3 sets for the doubles? Just without a tiebreak in the third? I get really confused!!

Good luck to them, go Aucks!

Andy and Sherwood beat them so they're by no means invinvclible!

It's best of three sets. The only tourneys with best of five in doubles are Wimbly and the Davis Cup.
