On second thoughts, maybe not:

R1: Antoine Escoffier (FRA) & Alex Ward WR 2558 defeated (3) Lewis Burton & Marcus Willis WR 1074 by 4 & 3 disbelief

Definitely not Lewis's day, but the reward for Alex & his chef mate is a pair of Thai WCs!

****

QF:  (WC) Kong Pop Lertchai & Natasith Luesantia (THA/THA) UNR vs Antoine Escoffier (FRA) & Alex Ward WR 2558

Mind you, the Thais put out a Swedish pair ranked at 1972...

Flash scores says someone won by retirement, it's not totally clear but as Wardy is shaded i'm hoping it means he's gone through.

From bet365, Alex was 4-1 up in the 1st set when the retirement occurred, so that also suggests he was the winner.

Marcus has come back from a set and a break down against Escoffier to take it into a 3rd.

5-7 6-4 *1-2

I'm sorry, I just can't believe some of these Thai names. Kong Pop Lertchai? Seo Yong-Bum? Seriously?
