Isn't Bob Bryan's wife about to have a baby? If that's the reason for his absence, at a guess, most years, they'd both take off. But it's been a "bad" year by their standards, so Mike Bryan may wish to continue to get points. Anyway, should be interesting. Suspect neither side is thrilled with the draw.
Perhaps Mike wants to take that Number 1 doubles ranking all for himself!!
Well, I see John sneaked back ahead of Jamie for WR 7 in Jamie's Shanghai absence. If they win a match here, Jamie should jump back ahead ( Jamie has a spare 0 counter that John hasn't )
Goodness. That's not anticipated. Thanks for the link, Wolf. Sounds as if the Murray/Peers split was a bit of a mystery/surprise to the author, too, given their record this year. Wonder whom Peers will partner.
