Fleming/Mirza is a surprise! Playing without being a pawn in other people's agendas will doubtless be a welcome change for her.

R2: (14) Colin Fleming & Ross Hutchins vs Brian Baker & Rajeev Ram (USA)

The 4th seeded "bloody Poles" ( Fyrstenberg & Matkowski ), who they were seeded to meet in R3 ( the last 16 ), have been beaten in R1 by the American brothers, Ryan and Christian Harrison.

RJA · Hall of fame

I suppose that this thread is as good as any to congratulate Ken Skupski on the news that he and his wife Hayley are expecting their first child in March.

Spectator · All-time great

Looks like one wants to avoid pairings of Americans. Not only did the Harrisons beat Fyrstenberg and Matkowski, but Donald Young and Monroe beat Llodra/Zimonjic and, somewhat staggeringly, Johnson/Sock beat Nestor/Mirnyi. Be interesting to see what happens when Inglot/Huey (honorary Americans because of their university experiences?) meet Blake and Querrey.

NB: According to the ATP story on doubles for Tuesday, Fleming/Hutchins have the misfortune to be up next against another American pairing that is bound to be a sentimental favourite for many watching -- Brian Baker and Rajeev Ram, who were juniors finalists at Wimbledon together, played the US Open together before Baker's injuries and have now paired up again.
