[DaveArneRiise]

Ballray up an early break against Delgadski

[Sallydaisy]

MurBall broke DelSki first game but were broken back in game 4.

On serve at 3-3 in the first set.

[Sallydaisy]

5-5 in the first set.
Livescorehunter not showing match but Sportlemon is.
http://www.sportlemon.tv/v-4/0/90/v-409049.html

[Sallydaisy]

DF from Delgy and Murball get a vital break to go *6'5 in the first set.

Jamie to serve it out.
0-15, 15-15, 15-30 (DF), 15-40 (Carsten into the net).
Another DF and it's 6all and a tie-break for the first set.

Not a bad stream, fixed camera but it's a nice sunny day.
Jamie white shirt, blue shorts; Carsten white shirt and cap and black shorts.
Delgy in black shorts, turquoise shirt and white cap; Skupski royal blue shirt, red cap.

[Sallydaisy]

Delski to serve first in the tb:-
*1-0
1-1* Carsten serving
1-2*
*2-2
*2-3 DF from Delgy
2-4* Jamie serving
3-4* break back
*4-4 good hustling from Delski
*5-4 MurBall need to hold both serves now .....
6-4* dropped one
6-5* held but Delski have a set point on Delgy's serve (the weaker of the 2)

Game and first set to DelSki 7'6(5)

[DaveArneRiise]

Those 2 double faults from Jamie whilst serving for the set proved crucial.

[Sallydaisy]

Watering the clay!!!

And the lads are straight back out on it.

[Sallydaisy]

Hmm, rubbish serving from Jamie; another DF gives DelSki *0-40.
*15-40,
Game to Jamie and Ken.

[DaveArneRiise]

Jamie having a mare today.

[Sallydaisy]

It's been a while since he and Carsten partnered up so there's that whole gelling as a team to do.
They're due to stay together thru' the grass season apart from Queens and the Olympics when Jamie partners Andy.

[Sallydaisy]

Carsten clearly forgetting this is being streamed and forgetting to mind his language.
And more frustration as he hits into the net to go *0-30.
;)

Just realised Ball and Murray are both lefties.
30-30 now.

Skuppers to serve at *4-3. Not much time left for Murball to turn this round.

[Sallydaisy]

GSM Delgado/Skupski 7'6(5), 6'4.

Well deserved - they played consistently well throughout.
Ball/Murray have some work to do ... but it was quite a close match all in all.

Maybe not the best performance from Jamie and but bopefully will have some good results with Ball, Tbh thought they may well be up against in this match. Well done Ken and Jamie D though and hopefully they can build on this win!

[hfwardhouse]

:sad:

[Sallydaisy]

Day off tomorrow for JamieD, Ken, Jonny and Olivier.

Quarter-Finals:Jamie Delgado & Ken Skupski vs Nicolas Mahut & Nicolas Renavand (FRA/FRA)

[JAMES4578]

Well done Jonny and Oliver!

[DaveArneRiise]

Delgado Skupski dropped first set 6-2 to Mahut and Renavand, in a 2nd set tie breaker at the moment 3-3 on serve after Delgadski were 3-0 up.

[Linda]

And they take the set!

[DaveArneRiise]

UP 4-1 in the ctb!!!!

[DaveArneRiise]

Ahhh they were up 8-2 and now it's 9-9 :sofa:

[Linda]

The others have MP :sofa:

[DaveArneRiise]

2nd MP for Delgadski on serve. Can they take it this time?

[Linda]

11-11

12-12

[DaveArneRiise]

12-12 roller coaster this, they will be kicking themselves if they lost this breaker after being 8-2 up!

[Linda]

They lost :crying:

[DaveArneRiise]

Sadly the French pair have taken it 14-12 in the end. Dire stuff from Delgadski to be frank losting that breaker after being 8-2 up and having multiple match points. They will be kicking themselves :facepalm:

[JAMES4578]

Pity, seems such a missed opportunity!

[Sallydaisy]

Sadly the French pair have taken it 14-12 in the end. Dire stuff from Delgadski to be frank losting that breaker after being 8-2 up and having multiple match points. They will be kicking themselves :facepalm:

This is what Ken had to say ..... @k_skupski (https://twitter.com/#%21/k_skupski)
;)

Tough for everyone today. King Kenny loses his job and @DelgadoJamie (https://twitter.com/#%21/DelgadoJamie) and I end up losing a heartbreaker. We will bounce back. As will #LFC (https://twitter.com/#%21/search/%23LFC)!

[Sallydaisy]

There's still a Brit in action here!!!

Jonny Marray/Olivier Charroin won their QF match and are into the Semi's.
:thumbup:

They'll play the Wildcard entrants HERBERT, Pierre-Hugues/OLIVETTI, Albano (FRA) who yesterday put out the #2 seeds Brunstrom/Marx.

[DaveArneRiise]

Jonny Marray/Olivier Charroin won 7-6 7-5!

But it's been a good run so well done Jonny for making it to the Final with Charroin!
:thumbup:

[JAMES4578]
