Don't usually do the live feed for doubles but there you have it.
The older ( Marin ) Draganja has a CH 20 from 2015 and was a French Open semi finalist in 2014 partnering Florin Mergea. And they are a regular partnership unlike the Brits with Aljaz only sporadically even playing doubles ( which has got to have a fair bit of bearing much as some like to debate the importance of partnerships and / or playing doubles regularly ).
Really a pretty good week by the Brits and not a bad scoreline in itself today, but obviously very disappointing from the position they were in.
