[Jane]

Up on LS now

[Sallydaisy]

Up on LS now
:thumbup:
just got home so I can follow on LS whilst chilling out!
On serve with Jamie/Andre 1-0.

[Sallydaisy]

Ah, the boys were broken early on in the set and lost the first 4'6. Time to regroup. They probably have a crowd cheering on the home guys (not that there are usually many folks at Challengers).

[Sallydaisy]

They're ahead in the 2nd set 4-2.

[Jane]

Hope they win this

[Jane]

The dreaded ctb - I hate them!!!!

[Sallydaisy]

Right then Mr Murray - time to win this match.

The Luxums are serving first
*0-1
0-2*
0-3* me likey!
*0-4 and a DF from Gilles Muller
*1-4
*2-4 and a DF from Sa.
:grrr:

[Sallydaisy]

2-4* with Sa to have his 2nd serve after the change of ends
2-5* that'll do, how about breaking again for insurance?
*2-6 one down, one to go (DF from sidewinder)
*2-7 ahhhhhhhh, now it's 2 serves for Jamie Murray to hold
2-8* 1 hold
2-9* and that's another for 7 match points.
2-10*

GSM Murray/Sa 4'6, 6'3, 10'2

[Jane]

Well done Jamie and Andre:clap::clap::clap::clap:

Good luck for tomorrow:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

[Sallydaisy]

Jamie and his partner will play another Brit in the Semi-Final ...

[1] J.Murray(GBR)/Sa(BRA) v Bucewicz(AUT)/Goodall(GBR)

According to the OOP this Semi will be played 2nd on court after a singles match starting at 13.30 local, 12.30 UK time. So Jamie is likely to play around 14.00hrs? Not much rest considering they only finished playing tonight at 22.30hrs ...

[patmoren]

Well done Jamie and Andre. Good luck in the semi.

[hfwardhouse]

Yay. :yahoo:

[JAMES4578]

Great win For Jamie/Sa, hope semi goes well!

[Jane]

Oops - nearly missed this - Jamie and Andre won the first set 7-6, and are about to serve in the second where they are leading 2-1

[Sallydaisy]

I completely forgot - for some reason had in my brain that it was nearer 5pm for them to play.

They're now 4-2 up in the 2nd set.

[Jane]

Well done Jamie and Andre - 7-6, 6-2:yahoo::yahoo::yahoo::clap::clap::clap::)

[Sallydaisy]

:clap:

Well done Jamie and Andre - into the Final.
They'll play the [2] Kas/Norman.

[JAMES4578]

Fabulous, let's hope they have a shot of taking the title!

[hfwardhouse]

Woohoo!!!

[patmoren]

Well done Jamie and Andre, needs some points on the board.

[Jane]

Just got in after being at Andy's walkabout - amazing!!! See we are in the dreaded ctb - good luck Jamie and Andre.:thumbup:

[rondun]

It's time they stopped this CTB nonsense - especially in finals

[Sallydaisy]

*5-7
*6-7 The lads really need to claw back a couple of serves here ...
6-8* missed that one
7-8* got that one though so it's now back on serve! C'mon!!!!!
*8-8
*8-9 Noooooooooooooooo - that's a match point to t'others on their serve! Save it please?

:crying:
Kas/Norman win 6'2, 2'6, 8-10

[Sallydaisy]

Shame but it's onto Metz now for Jamie and Andre

[lynne]

What a shame!!

[Jane]

Aww no - they lost 8 - 10 :sad: Hate those CTBs!!!

[Alis]

That is a pity - it would have been the icing on the cake for the Murray family today. He does seem to get on with Sa though - let's hope they stay together for a while.

[JAMES4578]

Disappointing, but so close and Jamie and Andre gave it their best shot!
