[RosieBear]

Well done to Dom Inglot and Krajicek who finally come through a scrappy 3rd set breaker and take the match :clap:

[Jane]

First set to Jamie and Bruno....6-4 :thumbup:

[Jane]

Second set and match to Jamie and Bruno...well done, guys 6-4, 6-2 :cheer::cheer::cheer:

[Jane]

Dan and Lloyd get the first set in a tie-break 7-6 :thumbup:

[Jane]

Daniell and Demoliner get the second set 6-4:sad:

[exislander]

Dan retires.

[Jane]

Dan retired with a thigh injury.:sad: Score 1-2 in the third set. Hope he will be OK for tomorrow.

[JAMES4578]

Glad it was fairly comfortable for Jamie/Bruno-well done! Pity Dan had to retire, hopefully ok for tomorrow.

[RosieBear]

Very straightforward forward for Joe and Ram as they bank 6-3 6-4 win over Millman and Monteiro :clap: They have looked good in every round.

Bit tighter for Jamie and Bruno against Eubanks and Frantangelo but still straights 7-6 (4) 6-4 :clap:

[JAMES4578]

Great for Joe/Rajeev amd Jamie/Bruno-well done! However disappointing as the mixed as Jamie/Bethanie go down to Vliegen/Klepac 2-6,6-4,12-10.

[RoastLamb]

Was VERY EXCITED yesterday morning to see that my TSN was showing Jamie's match. The first doubles they've shown. Very happy to watch Jamie and Bruno as usual. Sad that Jamie and Bethanie lost their match tho'.

[Sallydaisy]

Neal Skupski and Jack Sock have withdrawn from the men's doubles at the US Open giving a walkover to Dominik Koepfer and Emil Ruusuvuori. Jack Sock retired in his singles match yesterday.

This means that in Round 3 it'll be Koepfer/Ruusuvuori v J.Murray/Soares.

[exislander]

This means that in Round 3 it'll be Koepfer/Ruusuvuori v J.Murray/Soares.

Two tiebreak sets and it is all square.

Joe/Rajeev also in 3rd set now.

[exislander]

3rd set Murray/Soares 6-1

Joe/Rajeev win their 3rd set tie-break.

[RosieBear]

Phew. Joe and Rajeev up their game and play a much better breaker this time to come through :clap:

[RosieBear]

:phew: What a nailbiter but Joe and Rajeev hung in after a wobble in the deciding tiebreak and get the win. Nip and tuck, and the gobby Aussies aren't happy their sledging didn't work :laugh: Fantastic! :GBflag:

[Hawkeye]

Jamie and Bruno came from a set down to beat the #2 seeds Granollers/Zeballos 6-7(5) 6-4 6-4.

[Jane]

Well done Jamie and Bruno. Had to go to bed after the first set, but so happy to see the final result.:cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

[JAMES4578]

Yes certainly was great win for Jamie/Bruno to reach the semis,good to see them in form again!

[Hawkeye]

Men's doubles semis are from 5pm tomorrow, first up are Joe and Rajeev against Johnson/Querrey, and then Jamie and Bruno against Peers/Polasek.

[RosieBear]

Woohoo, that's Joe and Rajeev safely into the final as they dispatch the all American pair 7-6 6-4. Some of Joe's shots :worship: Don't like it when singles players think they can swan in and beat the specialist doubles guys. Would love Joe to do the double doubles.

[JAMES4578]

Tight in the first but Joe and Rajeev the stronger, some great doubles skills. Hoping Jamie and Bruno can join them though up against former partner Peers along with Polasek!

[Jane]

Jamie and Bruno break and lead 2-1 in first set.

[RosieBear]

Jamie's playing really well, so nice to see he's getting his mojo back :thumbup: Go Jamie and Bruno!

[JAMES4578]

Pleased Jamie in form along with Bruno here,still up a break at 4-3. Long way to go though!

[Jane]

First set to Jamie and Bruno....6-3 :thumbup: :dance:

[Hawkeye]

J&B down a break in the second set.

[Jane]

Not much of a crowd there, and they are being drowned out by the commies!!:shrug:

[Jane]

One set all!! Come on Jamie and Bruno!!:thumbup:

[RosieBear]

All square. C'mon Jamie! :GBflag:

[JAMES4578]

Did not go so well in 2nd but was likely to be good matchup, 2 all in 3rd-come on Jamie/Bruno!

[Hawkeye]

J&B up a break in the decider!

[Hawkeye]

J&B to serve for a place in the final!

[JAMES4578]

They found the opening, come on Jamie serve it out!

[Hawkeye]

15-0...
30-0...
40-0!

[Jane]

[Jan]

[JAMES4578]

Pretty tough match but easy hold,well done Jamie and Bruno as they reach final !:cheer::cheer:

Yesterday was a great day for me tennis-wise. TWO Brits in the men's dubs and one will defo be hoisting the trophy. And the Brit and Canuck won the ladies' semis too! Seriously could not get better than this! Except maybe Felix beating Meddy but I doubt that will happen.

I honestly thing Joe is the best men's dubs player right now. He is pure genius.
