C'mon, I know our doubles players should be banned from ever having to play seeds, but the #14 seeds in the L32 is not bad at all  

Very good R1 win for Colin & Jonathan and decent R2 draw though it will still be tough as to be expected.

Who of the potential no. 1s did what what here last year? I assume Jamie needs to make the semis or so tohave any chance at no. 1 for Wimbledon?

Melo & Dodig beat the Bryans in the final with Tecau and Roger as semi finalists. The two in best shape as far as the 'in running' points to be WR 1 are Mahut and Murray who are just dropping L16 points ( 180 points ) from last year.

There are 5 potential number 1s post the French Open ( the top 8 being within 2000 points going in 'in running' but Herbert, Rojer and M Bryan can't overtake their partners )

Taking off last year's  points :

1. Mahut : 7580 - 180 = 7400

2. Murray : 7535 - 180 = 7355

3. Herbert : 7190 - 180 = 7010

4. Tecau : 7450 - 720 = 6730

5. Rojer : 7290 - 720 = 6570

6. B Bryan : 6870 - 1200 = 5670

7. M Bryan : 6870 - 1200 = 5670

8. Melo : 7590 - 2000 = 5590

 

Very difficult to say what Jamie needs to do to be #1 post the French Open and / or going into Wimbledon. Theoretically even winning just one round could do it if Mahut lost in R1 and the other contenders fell fairly early. Winning the title would certainly do it !
