Two excellent and comfortable wins there and a guaranteed finalist !

 A guaranteed Brit and a guaranteed Croat (or Croatian? Not sure...) in the final.

So, Jamie and Bruno v Joe and Rajeev. Hard to call - not sure if they have ever played as pairs, anyone know? Tennis 24 didnt have any record of a H2H but I may have been missing it?

Hard to see who will win this, my feeling when Jamie was with Neal would have been for Joe and Rajeev but Jamie and Bruno seem to have really clicked and have had a great start to the season. I have Joe to lose his mixed QF match v Neal and am also edging towards Jamie and Bruno to take this one, again in 3.

Other semi of Mektic and Pavic v Dodig and Polasek is hard to call - as FW says, there will be a Croat v GB final of some sort. But if Jamie and Bruno win, it seems poetically correct to expect them to face Mektic and Pavic in the final!

Dodig and Polasek take the first semi and will play whichever Brit wins tomorrows semi

Jamie is up to 18th in live rankings now, a good week. Another win tonight in the semis over joe wont actually improve his ranking as there is a big gap to 17th. However, a tournament win will really change things, move him about Joe and into 9th place again, back in the top 10. Joe cant actually improve as he has last years points locked in, but clearly has the motivation of another slam title.

Definitely.  That's 3am for me.

Nice one, Joe/Rajeev have the chance to defend their title.
