Convincing win Jamie and Neal. Well done. :clap::clap: Great experience for Neal having the chance to play the likes of Djoko. He was certainly up for it!

Pretty emphatic win, well done Jamie and Neal!

[Jane]

First set to Jamie and Neal (6 -3) :thumbup:

[Hawkeye]

Klaasen and Venus serving to stay in it at *3-5, so at worst Jamie and Neal will serve for the match next.

[Hawkeye]

They tried and failed... And now have to serve to take it to a tie break.

[Hawkeye]

Tie break it is...

[Hawkeye]

Jamie and Neal up a mini break at 5-3*.

[Hawkeye]

Match point, and Jamie serves a double fault... Still match point but *5-6...

Jamie and Neal win!

They play Pavic and Soares in the semis.

[patlowe]

So pleased for Jamie and Neal. I'm on the move today, so unfortunately didn't see the match. But loving the result!

[lynne]

Well Done Jamie & Neal.....the only match I have managed to watch today.....Keep it going boys!!!!:thumbup:

[JAMES4578]

Another good win for Jamie/Neal, will face Pavic/Soares in semis and hopefully that goes well!

[Jane]

On court now - down 1-2 in the first set after being broken by Skupski's DF in deciding point

[Jane]

5 - 5 Come on Jamie and Neal

[Jane]

Lost the first set 5 - 7 :sad: Come on guys :thumbup:

[Jane]

Sadly, they lost - 5-7, 4-6 ….gutted for them :crying:

[JAMES4578]

Yes had hoped they would at least reach final but not to be, Pavic/Soares having the edge here. Still had pretty good run!

[patlowe]

I'm not at home at the mo, but I managed see the second set this morn. Shame because they had been doing so well. But I do think they are beginning to come together as a team. It's taken Soares and Pavic a bit of time also to come together. Pity it had to be against Jamie and Neal today!
