    Well done to you and Lisa for winning today against Erakovic and Kostanic Tosic. Semi finals here we go. You guys are just brilliant and I hope you win the US Open and here is hoping that you stay together next year and win all 4 slams that would be just brilliant. I haven't seen such an exciting pairing since Fernandez and Zvereva, you guys have so much fun on the court.

    Is there any chance of you still qualifying for Doha?
