Thats so weird. I watched live score for 1st game and I swear Melo and Dodig took the first game from 0-40 down? Was the point replayed? Have I lost the plot? Cant explain that I'm afraid.

Never the less, a great morning so far with Glasspool, Robson and now Jamie all winning.....but then maybe that didn't happen......I'm not sure of anything now!

Third seeds versus fourth in the final:

Final: (3) Pierre-Hugues Herbert & Nicolas Mahut (FRA/FRA) CR 13 (8+5) vs (4) Jamie Murray & Bruno Soares (BRA) CR 14 (1+13)

Spectator · All-time great

That's got to be a psychologically significant win - not just securing #1 for more than a brief moment, but also doing so by directly vanquishing the nearest contender.

Now just beat the next contenders in the final. Mahut and Herbert will be up to WRs 3 & 4 respectively on Monday whatever the result of the final ( Monte Carlo has really shaken up the rankings, but thankfully not WRs 1 and 2 )

And in the Race to London they are currently well clear in 2nd place ( 2135 vs Jamie & Bruno's 2520 as at start of MC ) so an extra 400 points for winning the title would actually have them sneak into race #1.
