Singles draw up on main ATP site, no sign of cam.

Disappointed, seems like two big opportunities gone with not taking qualies places in monte Carlo and barca

Hence my editing of the subject line an hour or so ago. wink I share your disappointment. Incidentally, "Barça" is the nickname reserved for the football club, not its home city.

noted! I'd like to say Barcelona with a Manuel sounding lisp in response!

Ouch, Jamie & Bruno not seeded in a draw as a pair for the first time I recall and possibly the first time ever with Masters tournaments having 8 seeded pairs. And draw seeds ...

Hmm, with 16 pairs and 8 seeds, I think that was inevitable wink

4 seeds

If there had been 8 they would have been seeded, I would guess as 5th seeds.

Same court where I watched Evo beat Mischa Zverev last year in what turned out to be his last victory before ..........

Holds 200-300 spectators.

The change of opponents (Mike B apparently has a lower back problem) didn't do Jamie & Bruno much good:

L16: (LL) Nicolás Jarry & Guido Pella (CHI/ARG) CR 687 (145+542) defeated Jamie Murray & Bruno Soares (BRA) CR 29 (14+15) by 5 & 5 bleh

Kontinen & Peers (2) lost again, too, to Bopanna & ERV.

Really does seem like this partnership has run it's course.

Dear me, lads.

Find some form soonish.

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

I seem to remember they lost in the 1st round here last year too.

Ouch, lucky losers too. Jamie and Bruno definitely struggling. I see this partnership not lasting beyond Wimbledon if things dont pick up.

In fact I would love to see Jamie and Andy give it a go on grass if Andy feels like extra practice is needed ...

that would be fun.

PS if Kontinen and Peers broke up, Murray and peers could play together again! Or Murray and Kontinen!
