Stumbled across this.  Unexpectedly, perhaps (it's extraordinarily difficult, if not downright impossible, to find details of doubles qualies draws on the ATP site ( furious )), but Colin & Jonny are still plugging away:

QR1:  (q1) Colin Fleming & Jonny Marray CR 137 (62+75) defeated Carlos Berlocq & Federico Delbonis (ARG/ARG) CR  (180+181) by 7-6(3) 7-6(7)

*****

FQR:  (q1) Colin Fleming & Jonny Marray CR 137 (62+75) vs (q2) Frank Moser & Alexander Satschko (GER/GER) CR 194 (114+80)

If Colin & Jonny qualify, they will play Benni Becker & Dominic Thiem in the first round of the main draw.

Other participants:

R1:  Dom Inglot & Florin Mergea (ROU) CR 66 (41+25) vs Scott Lipsky & Philipp Oswald (USA/AUT) CR 80 (31+49)
R1:  Jamie Murray & John Peers (AUS) CR 89 (44+45) vs Marcin Matkowski & Leander Paes (POL/IND) CR 64 (35+29)

That is a pretty nice draw. Both Team Dom and Team Jamie avoid seeded opposition as would Colin and Jonny if they come through.

Colin and Jonny came through qualifying with a 2 and 4 win.

They really could do with some points here as their respective rankings are 78 and 90. That probably wouldn't get them into the Australian Open as a partnership and Jonny in particular might struggle to find an alternative partner who he could get in with.

Colin and Jonny are playing R1 match against Becker and Thiem.

They were broken in the opening game but won the next 4 and took the set 6-3.

Oh dear. Colin and Jonny led 6-3, *4-3 30-0 but in the end lost the second set 7-6(5) and lost the match tie break 10-5

More misery here as Jamie and John also lose their round 1 match 10-5 in the match tie break.

NB: For anyone wondering Colin and Jonny get 20 points each for qualifying.

Finally some good news here. Dom and Florin won 7-6(3), 6-4. They play Gonzalez and Rosol in the QFs.
