As noted on another thread, why has Hutchins been put on at noon on the hottest day of the year for a best of five? Also agree: why are they not on a better court?!

All that said, I think their chances are really good, and will hope to see them when they play on a decent court in the 3rd round.

They're behind on the schedule and all the best courts are being used for all the mens/womens R16 matches, so they can't wait until later in the day to start the match.

Actually, looking at the schedule further, I suspect the timing is as it is because both Fleming and Hutchins also have to play mixed matches today, and the tournaments (rightly) tend to schedule doubles/singles before the mixed matches when players are involved in both. Ah well.

You'd better start praying then, Spectator:  they've lost the first set to Dimitrov & Tursunov by 4-6. hmm  2-1* in the second...

And hold to love to move into a 4-1* lead.  I hope this is a sign of a revival.  They need only to continue to hold to get this set in the bag!
