Brilliant wins from George and James, very unexpected
Since I already had the current rankings in my post at the start of p2, it's not as hard as SC thought to add them in. However, it would be overkill to repeat all the L32 results (especially when it's so obvious where the rankings upsets came), so here's the L16 with rankings:
L16: (1) Uladzimir Ignatik (BLR) WR 191 v Timo Nieminen (FIN) WR 385 L16: (5) Jamie Baker WR 313 v Charles-Antoine Brezac (FRA) WR 361 L16: (4/Q) Josh Goodall WR 307 v James McGee (IRL) WR 510 L16: (WC) George Morgan UNR v (Q) Gary Lugassy (FRA) WR 623 L16: Thomas Oger (MON) WR 412 v Alexandre Renard (FRA) WR 647 L16: Chris Eaton WR 488 v (3) Yannick Mertens (BEL) WR 265 L16: (6) David Goffin (BEL) WR 326 v Romain Jouan (FRA) WR 455 L16: (WC) James Marsalek UNR v (2) Stefano Galvani (ITA) WR 254

Agreed, but as I was already on p3 when I started my post & thus unable simply to scroll up/down to see the rankings, it felt like too much like a hard work after a long day at work to call them up!

R1: (1) Chris Eaton & Dominic Inglot WR 532 beat Thomas Cazes- Carrère & Clément Reix (FRA/FRA) WR 1412 by 2 & 5 R1: Stefano Galvani & Yannick Mertens (ITA/BEL) WR 1091 beat (WC) James Marsalek & George Morgan UNR by 3 & 4 R1: (WC) Richard Bloomfield & Will Gray UNR beat Baptiste Dupuy & Gary Lugassy (FRA/FRA) UNR by 3 & 4 R1: Josh Goodall & David Rice WR 1073 beat Jaan-Frederik Brunken & Peter Gojowczyk (GER/GER) WR 2674 by 3 & 2
QF: (1) Chris Eaton & Dominic Inglot WR 532 vs Stefano Galvani & Yannick Mertens (ITA/BEL) WR 1091 QF: (WC) Richard Bloomfield & Will Gray UNR vs Uladzimir Ignatik & Milos Raonic (BLR/CAN) WR 970 (*) QF: Josh Goodall & David Rice WR 1073 vs Matwé Middelkoop & Bart Monsjou (NED/NED) WR 1848 (**)
(*) Ignatik & Raonic dumped out the French fourth seeds/WCs, Brezac & Stouff (WR 735), by 4 & 3 yesterday, so a win for Bloomers & Gray would probably constitute something of an upset.
(**) Middelkoop & Monsjou did for the third seeds, Andis Juska (LAT) & James McGee (WR 702), by 6-2 7-6(2) yesterday, so will be no pushovers!
The fourth QF is an all-Frog affair between the second seeds, Olivier Charroin & Alexandre Renard (WR 563), & Romain Jouan & Mathieu Rodrigues, the winners to face Goody & Ricey, should they see off the Dutchmen.

Goodall level at one set all against McGee. McGee took first set. Goodall served for second set at 5-4 but was broken. Set went to a TB which Goodall won 7-5.
Eaton one set up against Mertens. Just like Goodall on the adjacent court, Eaton served for set at 5-4 but was broken. Set went to a TB which Eaton won 7-5.
