The other seeds may well have withdrawn from their half of the draw, but PHH is certainly no slouch as a doubles player, so it won't be easy. Every confidence that the guys are on a roll though.
Just been looking back to what a poor time of results the Skupskis had last year from about the end of February until the grass season.
So the good thing is that opportunity now beckons to get that ranking increasingly higher with them seemingly in much better form and nothing to defend in March, April and May ( and just beforehand 45 points on 22/02 and 17 on 29/02 )

That all but covers off Marseille's points that drop out of the rankings next week. One more win here would cover completely ALL the points coming off this month. And as Indi said above, they will then have NOTHING to defend until June. Plenty of upside potential during the next three months. Must be aiming for DA into the slams this year.
