R1: (WC) Konstantin Kravchuk & Andrey Kuznetsov (RUS/RUS) CR 421 (116+305) vs Ken Skupski & Neal Skupski CR 168 (84+84) R1: (WC) Evgeny Donskoy & Andrey Rublev (RUS/RUS) CR 1503 (712+791) vs (3) Colin Fleming & Jonny Marray CR 137 (62+75)
Ken must have sorted out his "personal reasons". Both pairs look to be in with a chance of making the QFs, with Colin's & Jonny's appearing the greater.
Interesting fact: I just switched on the stream for the MTB and Jonny was returning from the deuce side and Colin from the ad side (normally the other way around). Whether they had done it done it like that all match I'm not sure but interesting they decided to switch after their winning their last tournament they played together returning from their normal sides.

What is it with juniors and this tournament? Last year Khachanov; this year Rublev. While the latter would seem a potential star in the making, that's a painful defeat.
