A summary of the Brit survivors after the "carnage" of the third round:

R3:  (1) Bob Bryan & Mike Bryan (USA/USA) WR 1 vs (16) Treat Huey (PHI) & Dominic Inglot WR 67
R3:  (9) Colin Fleming & Jonny Marray WR 42 vs (6) Robert Lindstedt & Daniel Nestor (SWE/CAN) WR 27

To be the best, you have to beat the best...

Well I don't hold out much hope for Dom and Treat, their only chance as I see it is to serve very well and hope for a bit of luck in some tie breaks.

On a more positive note I think Colin and Jonny have a great chance, I would even go as far to say I think they are favourites. The Lindstedt / Nestor partnership has not worked well, aside from a final in Barcelona they have not had a good tournament together. They had a shocking second round defeat at Roland Garros and lost their opening matches at both Eastbourne and Queen's. Nestor is now 40 years old and Lindstedt is 36. I would hope that two players with Colin and Jonny's nous and grass court ability would be sharp enough to take advantage of the obvious lack of speed possessed by such a team.

According to the LTA twitter feed they lost the first set due a Fleming double fault on set point and then the second set due to two bad net cords.

Disappointing. They couldn't make any impact on their opponents serve. 17 return games and not one break point.
