bryans losing MTB 2*-5 at moment

And proceeded to lose it 5-10, so it's "Bops" & Nieminen on the other side of the net from H&H in the SF tomorrow. They obviously mustn't be underestimated, but what a great chance for Hutch & Hussy...!

Ross & Stephen are the only seeded pair left in the doubles competition now. Hope that's not going to put the mockers on their chances of going all the way to a second ATP title...

2nd up with matches starting at 9pm GMT

Great win for Ross and Stephen, and with the Bryan's out, there's a great chance for them to go on and reach another final here.

Don't wanting to put too big a dappener on things but Bops and Nieminen can't be that bad a pairing if they've beaten the Byrans.

Good luck to H&H though, would be great to see them in the final.

Great news! I hope the luck is with them next match and they reach the final. Looks easier than it's probably going to be. Fingers crossed.

Maybe, but the Bryans were 1/13 on break points in the match which probably tells the story of why they lost as they just didn't take any of the numerous chances they created.

Mardy Fish has just demolished his doubles partner James Blake so H&H will be up soon.

Bopanna & Nieminen are a solid enough as doubles player but they are a scratch pairing and even though they beat the Bryans I would expect H&H would have too much for them.

Don't suppose there is a livestream anywhere for this?

ForeverDelayed · Grand Slam Champion

Doesn't look like there will be a livestream - Eurosport2 did show the Blake/Fish match, but is now showing ski-jumping, so they won't be showing the tennis.

Fish did take Blake apart and played really well, but Blake was definately hampered with a foot/ankle injury from the beginning and spent the whole match just going for winners as he couldn't really run about.

H&H *0-2

wolf · Tennis legend

H&H have broken back and are 4-3* up.

Serving order is Hutchins - Bopanna - Huss - Nieminen

Stircrazy · Tennis legend

And break again to go 5-3 up! smile

Stircrazy · Tennis legend

And they take the first set 6-3!

ForeverDelayed · Grand Slam Champion

I go to have a shower and come back to find they've recovered from 1-3 to take the set 6-3!

Great work guys - hopefully Ross getting broken at the start was them just having not properly got going and now they are dominating the match that they have.
