Lee and Cara gelled well on the court and played good tennis ... They were in control of finishing match in straight sets but played couple of loose points to lost second set in tie-break ... But in last set they take important break in 2nd game breaking Paul Hanley's serve that was enough to won set and match.

Interesting semi-final match against doubles partner for Lee.
