Ken & Neal return to Europe & it seems they still can't win - not literally, I sincerely hope!
R1: (1) Robin Haase & Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi (NED/PAK) CR 88 (40+48) vs Ken Skupski & Neal Skupski CR 251 (126+125) R1: (3) Colin Fleming & Jonny Marray CR 138 (76+62) vs (WC) Mathias Bourgue & David Guez (FRA/FRA) CR 1790 (1272+518)
Looks like a decent draw for Colin & Jonny, though. Both pairs are in the top half of the draw.

Gutted for them. They have had some tough draws and most of those losses have gone to MTBs.
It seems they may finally be starting to string together a few wins:

They trailed for most of the MTB, too!
Now for revenge for the Skupskis!
