3 Brits make the cut for doubles... unfortuanately Edward didn't make it.

(3) Skoch/Zeleney (CZE) vs. Delgado (GBR)/Garcia (ARG)
Bubka/Stakhovsky (UKR) vs. (4) Hutchins (GBR)/Thomas (USA)
Auckland (GBR)/Becker (GER) vs. Sirianni (AUS)/Zeballos (ARG)

Not great draws, but Hutchins and Auckland should make the QF's though

---

Aucks & Benni Becker the only pair in action today.

---

And they won 3 & 3!

Delgo & García in action towards the end of tomorrow afternoon...

They tried hard, but unfortunately, they couldn't quite manage to emulate Aucks' & Beckers' performance yesterday, losing 6-3 5-7 [3-10]!

I assume Hutch and Thomo are on tomorrow?

You assume correctly:  second match on the central court.

Hutch & Thomo tested Brit nerves a bit, but eventually moved past Bubka & Stakhovsky 6-4 3-6 [10-2]!   Their QF opponents will be Tomasz Bednarek & Frank Moser (POL/GER).  Aucks & Becker, however, won't know whether they play the Spanish second seeds, Albert Montañés & Santiago Ventura, or Stépahne Bohli & Jérémy Chardy (SUI/FRA) until late this afternoon!

Looks to me as though the second seeds are out before striking a ball in anger. The scoreboard is showing Bohli & Chardy playing Huta Galung & Muñoz-De la Naya. ( hope I haven't missed any accents off the latters' name)

Montanes withdrew from the singles, so he's probably injured... gives Auckland and Becker a good chance of a semi final though!

Well done to Ross on winning today as well, and hopefully we can have a British winner here.

I'm disappointed, I really thought they had a chance in this one. Hope for better things from Aucks & Becker.

Damn, damn, damn! They tried hard, but they couldn't manage it a second time!  They lost 2-6 6-4 [11-13].   So, it's up to Aucks & Becker now who are on court even even as I type...

---

The drawsheet has Hutchins and Thomas as having won, and they are listed on tomorrow's order of play

I'm guessing it means they won, which would be a good win for them.

Auckland and Becker retired 2-1 down in the first set...

You're quite right, FD, & I came on here to report the same discovery!  Presumably it's a similar ****-up with the results to Ysern/Slabba in the New Delhi Challenger yesterday, only this time in the Brit's favour!   Not clear from the information on the actual site that Aucks & Becker had retired, though I see that that's what the DS says.   Hope that doesn't imply some kind of injury to one or t'other...  At least the third seeds appear to have survived into the SF...!
