We have two and half British pairs in action here.
J. Murray / Stakhovsky v Benneteau / Tsonga
Delgado / Ward (WC) v Melo / Soares
Fleming / Hutchins (WC) v Aspelin / Hanley
Fleming and Hutchins are due to play tomorrow.
R1: (WC) Jamie Delgado & James Ward lost to (3) Marcelo Melo & Bruno Soares (BRA/BRA) by 7-6(6) 4-6 [6-10]
So near & yet so far - & a scratch pairing, too...
BLSP with Col & Ross a set up (7-6(5)) against Aspelin & Hanley. I hope they can keep the momentum going when play resumes tomorrow.

Unfortunately not - Aspelin & Hanley have raced through the second set 6-1
12-10 in the MTB! Was convinced they were going to blow it. Love to be proved wrong like that! Well done, boys.
Jamie & Stakh would appear to have steadied the ship somewhat: 4-1* in the second.
QF: Julian Knowle & André Sá (AUT/BRA)* vs (WC) Colin Fleming & Ross Hutchins
* Knowle & Sá took out the fourth seeds, Santiago González & Scott Lipsky, in three sets in the first round...
