Week 34 - ATP - ($750,000) - New Haven, USA.

Melo has got wings like Del Potro, so difficult to get past at the net.

And Sa is a wily old campaigner.

Hopefully Hutch and Huss in a MTB

Melo and Sa seem to have a problem with British players as I can't recall them beating a British pairing, while the Brits always seem to get the win over them.

Think H and H beat them a few weeks ago as well, so hopefully they can get another win and find some form before the US Open.

H & H have made the cut here. First up for them the Brazilians Melo & Sá. One they could win! They're in the same half of the draw as the "Poles"!

Good news: the Poles have been unceremoniously dumped out of the first round 5 & 3 by the unfancied German pair, Christopher Kas & Philipp Petzschner! wink
