What a shame. My 20 in the top 500 takes another hit.
Dan S is on 66 points YTD and at the moment, 68 are needed to be in the top 500 (69 to be sure). I notice that Dan isn't down to play again in the next couple of weeks so I hope this is not the end of his season.
So the chances of getting to 20 at the end of the season are looking slimmer by the day. And it is already a long shot at best anyway.
I may be completely incorrect, but I faintly recall reading that Nick Chappell is related to the Chappell brothers. Greg certainly has a bit of an American sports connection.
Nothing on Google indicates that I am correct, so maybe it's another Australian cricketer and some other young American tennis player.

QF: Stefan Kozlov & Alexander Zverev (USA/GER) UNR vs Josh Milton & Eric Quigley (USA) CR 2103 QF: James McAvoy & Pablo Pérez (USA/ARG) vs (3) Ed Corrie & Dan Smethurst CR 1193
Curiously, the opponents of both "our" pairs reached the QFs courtesy of a walkover.
