They win, 5-7 6-4 6-4

Not sure they will be happy with that to be honest. they could easily have lost in straight sets. Difficult c for doubles specialists that don't have warm ups before grand slams. still second round eh )

 

They got that purple patch just in time. They need it much earlier in the next round

Ken is 2nd alternate with James Cerretani.

Ken has now made it into the MD.  They play Mayer/Sousa

L64:  (5) Jamie Murray & Bruno Soares (BRA) CR 19 (9+10) defeated Frances Tiafoe & Donald Young (USA/USA) CR 414 (368+46) by 5-7 6-4 6-4

Paes/Raja or Basilashvili/Haider-Maurer in the next round.

*****

L64:  (ALT) James Cerretani (USA) & Ken Skupski CR 171 (84+87) vs Leonardo Mayer & Joćo Sousa (ARG/POR) CR 362 (131+231)

A chance of progress, I think...

 I think this will be hard. Mayer and sousa are both tough cookies with solid games. 50/50 call...
