Seeded 13th, Murray and Peers have slowly grown in authority after surviving a testing start to the fortnight. They were taken to five sets in the second round against Nicholas Monroe and Artem Sitak, and again went the distance in beating Sock and Pospisil 8-6 in the final set a round later. Alexander Peya and Bruno Soares were seen off in straight sets in the quarters, paving the way for a four-set victory over the unseeded pair Jonathan Erlich – who was struggling with a knee injury – and Philipp Petzschner in the last four. Rojer and Tecau, meanwhile, have veered between extremes.
