Oliver Hudson and James Chaudry (who has been at college in the US) will both rejoin the ATP rankings with today's wins but Harry Skinner's career best scalp was probably the highlight of the day:

R1: Joe Cooper & Sam Holt UNR "defeated" (3) Dan Cox & Brydan Klein CR 598 (359+239) by a walkover
Wonder what the story is there!
Most likely something to do with Dan Cox going to a 3rd set breaker earlier in the day.
That's what I reckon too. And can't believe that Brydan is too fussed either way - he's played enough tennis in the last week or so - singles is probably enough for him . .
Nice to see quite a few of the losing singles players getting a win in the doubles:
