R1: Colin Fleming & Ross Hutchins defeated (ALT) Fabio Fognini & Martin Klizan (ITA/SVK) by 5-7 6-4 [10-5]
They must have been quite relieved not to have been facing Harrison & Isner! Still a reassuring win! There's no indication, so far as I can see, of the reason why the Yanks withdrew.

R2: Colin Fleming & Ross Hutchins vs (3) Robert Lindstedt & Horia Tecau (SWE/ROU)
If Marray/Huey could somehow knock out Bhubop it'd increase Flemchins chances of making it to WTF London as Alts.
As of Monday 8th October (and w/out any points added for Shanghai) they're now up to 11th and should overtake Marrero/Verdasco to be 10th on Monday 15th October (M/V lost to Lindstedt/Tecau in R1 here).
