AO doubles
Men's Doubles semi's are on tonight.
Bryans vs. Boleli/Fognini Granollers/Lopez vs. Haase/Sijsling Interesting matchups with the Italian and Spanish duo's playing from the baseline. Never thought I would see the day when top doubles teams would win from the baseline. I guess Nadal was the trendsetter in this. My picks are the Bryans and the spanish duo. Bryans for the win! Who are you picks? Who are you supporting? |

The Bryan's stick their volleys so they have a good chance. I will be watching the dutch duo for the first time today. |
As long as Bryans don't win. Going for Lopez Gran to win the title.
|
Ive watched a few so far and been pretty underwhelmed with whats on show
|
The Bryan Brothers are like the Federer of doubles, a dying bread of great volleyers where all the other teams are just baseline bashers. Even doubles becomes a grindfest.
|
one set all.. bryans and the italians. This match is fairly good.
|
The Italian groundies are taking their toll, the twins are just sending volleys back a lot
|
bryans up 4-1. Just one more hold from Mike and they will be through. Bob (lefty) is an automatic hold.
|
5-1 Byrans. Bolelli is horrible at the net :-?
|
That finished fast
|
Bryans are through 6-4, 4-6, 6-1
Very poor 3rd set from the Italians. Fognini walks around like he does not give a damn. |

2nd semis underway..
Spaniards break back to even the 1st set at 4-4. |
Sijsling is the only guy who volleys on his serve :). The other 3 serve and stand back.

They played quite well at the net, the italians. Surprising considering their baseline games. I hope Granollers & co. lose, because a grown man should not grunt that way on every groundstroke. Don't copy the bad parts of the WTA please. |
Dutch get the first set 7-5. This one is going 3 sets I think.
|
Dutch serving for the match 5-4. A bit of a surprise.
|
Dutch win it!
Sijsling is good. The best volleyer/net player amongst this group. Haase staying back is going to be a liability against the Bryans. |
