The doubles semi-final in Westlakes had Greg and James Duckworth up against the also unseeded pair of Canadian Peter Polansky, who Greg defeated in the singles, and New Zealander Michael Venus, who beat Greg in the ATL finals at Melbourne.
Their opponents pitched up physically but perhaps not mentally and, despite them serving well, it was James and Greg who raced to a 5-0 lead. Polansky and Venus saved a break-point to avoid the bagel and then broke Greg and James, but it was the Aussies who won the first set 6-3.
The second set followed the same pattern, Greg and James breaking their opponents twice to get to a 4-0 lead. They then held serve competently, to win the set 6-2, winning the match 6-4, 6-2 and advancing to the finals of the doubles. The final will be played on Sunday.
