Ah, as indicated the Skupskis are currently joint WR 99. They are on 698 points and will drop 45 points from their QF here last year ( and have no back up ) so I fear three figure rankings next Monday.
R1: (4) Colin Fleming & Jonny Marray CR 132 (73+59) defeated Frank Moser & Divij Sharan (GER/IND) CR 202 (83+119) by 1 & 3 (= because Colin made it a winning return & it's good to see Jonny sharing in it with him)
Doubles positions look very unclear as yet for the Davis Cup next month.
Will Colin, the man in possesion, be back to his best after his late start to the year? Will we have two specialist doubles players or one in the final team of four? Opportunity beckons ...
