R1: (1) Jamie Delgado & Jonny Marray vs Roberto Bautista & Iván Navarro (ESP/ESP)
R1: Karol Beck (SVK) & Ken Skupski vs (4) Adrián Menéndez & Andreas Siljeström (ESP/SWE)
Ken's obviously slumming it this week: his Danish title-winning partner in Recanati, Freddie Nielsen, is the second seed with Johan Brunström (SWE). How fickle!
J&J are having a bad day at the office: 4-6 1-2*... I think it was Jonny who was broken in the opening game of the second set.
Curtains for J&J by 4 & 4. All up to Ken now...

Was hoping that this week could have seen a recovery by J & J after poor recent form. But alas, not to be.

I'd been waiting to report a satisfactory turnround in the second set, but the scoreboard's obviously frozen: it's still showing that score!
But they lose both points on serve to lose it 10-7
