[Stell]

Hopefully, the first final of many for this year for Jamie and Bruno. I hope they can beat Marach and Pavic.

[Jane]

They are due on court at 1.30pm (UK) and scheduled to be on Eurosport - probably after the Hopman Cup match ends. (It stands at 1-1 in the third set) Also on Bet365.

Best of luck to Jamie and Bruno :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

[Jane]

Lost the first set 2 - 6 :sad:

[Hawkeye]

4-4 in the second set, Jamie serving.

[Jane]

tb time :sofa:

[Hawkeye]

Struggling to get early mini-breaks back. 3 MPs for Marach/Pavic.

All 3 saved!

[Jane]

Oh dear - they lost the match - 2-6, 6-7 :crying: :crying: :crying:

[Hawkeye]

Bruno broken, and this time there is no coming back.

[Jan]

I think they had a set point in there too.
:sad:

[JAMES4578]

Disappointing though Marach/Pavic were on form, bit of a slow start and couldn't made crucial breakthrough in 2nd.

[Linda]

:sad:

[Stell]

Very disappointed.

[Alis]

I hoped they had turned the tide in the tie-break when they saved three set points but it was only a temporary stay of execution. Marach and Pavic were the better pair today - let's hope Jamie and Bruno are keeping their powder dry for the Oz Open!
