So Cam played for over five and a half hours today! I bet he's a tired bunny!

Jan · Hall of fame

He did well to keep going for that long!

If Neal and Wes win today they go top of the Race , which would be excellent.

It's rained all day in Barcelona, they started both singles SFs and both doubles SFs at the same time quite late but it rained again in the 2nd game of Neal's match so they are trying again 10am UK time tomorrow. This is Neal's first match since Monday.

Weather allowing, all the singles and doubles semis are scheduled to start at 10am BST, with finals in the afternoon.

Neal and Wes win their semi in an MTB, they play Krawietz and Mies in the final, due to start at 1330 BST.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

Not to be for Neil and Wes in the final, losing out in an MTB. But yet another strong week.

Strange and close run week. But Neal and Wes have gone top of the Race in todays list so a silver lining for them in that- we now have individual doubles number one in Joe and team Race leader in Neal!
