Yet another new partner for Sean, but at least he's persevering at Challenger level:
R1: Mohamed Safwat (EGY) & Sean Thornley CR 462 (289+173) vs Mirza Basic & Dino Marcan (BIH/CRO) CR 847 (606+241)
On paper, at least, they would appear to be in with a chance of making the quarters, where they would almost certainly face the Italian fourth seeds, Cipolla & Motti.
