I would love the bad boys to win it with smiles on their faces and trick shots. I know it's wrongs and yet...

Colin's in! smile

R1:  Dominic Thiem & Sam Weissborn (AUT/AUT) CR 188 (95+93) vs (ALT) Colin Fleming & Mariusz Fyrstenberg (POL) CR 130 (59+71)

I presume the Austrians used Thiem's singles ranking of 10 to gain direct entry (Weissborn's is 1006!).

With all sympathy to the pair that had to pull out, I am so, so glad that Messrs Fleming and Fyrstenberg made it in. Hurrah to them for waiting (and improving the shining hour by offering commentary) and all the best of luck to them.

Bah, that's Dom's 720 SF points from last year replaced by 0.

Did look a tough one though.

That's nasty - hope he can regain some of those points with a good rest of the year. He's had a rough time of it.

Recap:

R1:  Dominic Thiem & Sam Weissborn (AUT/AUT) CR 188 (95+93) vs (ALT) Colin Fleming & Mariusz Fyrstenberg (POL) CR 130 (59+71)

R1:  (4) Jamie Murray & Bruno Soares (BRA) CR 12 (4+8) defeated Gastão Elias & João Sousa (POR/POR) CR 249 (151+98) by 6-3 6-7(3) 7-5

R1:  Dan Evans & Nick Kyrgios (AUS) CR 976 (625+351) defeated (WC) Daniel Nguyen & Noah Rubin (USA/USA) UNR  (426 & UNR) by 3 & 3

R1:   (15) Oliver Marach & Fabrice Martin (AUT/FRA) CR 71 (37+34) defeated (PR) Dom Inglot & Marin Draganja (CRO) CR 161 (30+131) by 6-4 0-6 6-4  cry

*****

R2:  (4) Jamie Murray & Bruno Soares (BRA) CR 12 (4+8) vs Marcin Matkowski & Jürgen Melzer (POL/AUT) CR 1241 (33+1208) (& a combined age of 70!)

Not sure how the Austro-Polish partnership got in:  Melzer's singles ranking is 367!  confuse

R2:  (WC) Taylor Fritz & Tommy Paul (USA/USA) CR 752 (306+446) vs Dan Evans & Nick Kyrgios (AUS) CR 976 (625+351)

The Yank tyros progressed to the second round courtesy of a retirement on the part of Daniel Nestor & Vasek Pospisil, the sixth seeds.

If Colin & Mariusz manage to subdue the young Austrians (& I feel they should), they will face Jérémy Chardy & big Sam Groth, who dumped out the more than useful Colombian seeded pairing of Juan Sebastián Cabal & Robert Farah (13) in three sets in the first round.

Chardy has been having major ongoing problems with his foot.

Not sure it'll be such a factor in doubles but he's (almost certainly) canceling his Asia tour to try and get it (and his form) sorted out.

Re Matkowski and Melzer's entry I am pretty sure it will be based on a doubles PR for Melzer. I know he has a singles PR and he was top 50 ranked for doubles last year.
