No better news in the doubles, either, so far but for the sake of completeness:

R1: (1) Franco Agamemnone & Mariano Kestelboim (ITA/ARG) CR 676 (342+334) defeated (WC) James Allemby & Ramy Labna (EGY) UNR (1731+0) by 2 & 3
R1: Bernd Kössler & Thomas Statzberger (AUT/AUT) CR 2244 (991+1253) defeated Imran Aswat & Alex Jhun UNR (1419+0) by 6-1 7-6(3)

However, still in the hunt:

R1: Marc Dijkhuizen & Floris van Den Brink (NED/NED) CR 3190 (1678+1512) vs Dan Dowson & James Marsalek CR 2116 (1098+1018)

QF: Dan Dowson & James Marsalek CR 2116 (1098+1018) vs (4) Eduardo Agustín Torre & Nicolás Xivillier (ARG/URU) CR 2063 (678+1385)

Could be a chance there...

Seems I was being a wee bit overoptimistic yesterday:

QF: (4) Eduardo Agustín Torre & Nicolás Xivillier (ARG/URU) CR 2063 (678+1385) defeated Dan Dowson & James Marsalek CR 2116 (1098+1018) by 2 & 5

They had chances to take the second set... hmm
