 good that Jamie has a strong partner. Is draw detail correct though?top seeds cant play 16 seeds in last 32?  it looks like the AO website has got some of the seeding details messed up from having a quick look!

I have to say, I did wonder that myself.  Have just tried to check again in the hope of printing off a PDF version (not available), but got this message:

The website that you're trying to reach is having technical difficulties and is currently unavailable.

We are aware of the issue and are working hard to fix it. Thank you for your patience.

Perhaps the matter will be resolved once they have fixed the issue!

The website and app are a joke. The app kept giving me an error message when I was trying to simply look at the draw...shambles.

Yep, the Australian Open website is a mess re some of the seeding info in draws. This is because seedings correctly applying to players in one draw then stick to them and show up in a totally separate draw. Rajeev Ram is part of the 16th seeded men's doubles pair and so let's still stick a (16) beside him in the mixed doubles draw. Err let's not!

There will no doubt be 8 seeded pairs in the mixed but the seedings showing are a mess with some pairs showing two separate seedings from elsewhere. It's almost inconsistent that they actually manage to show the top seeds Chan and Murray as clearly (1) & (1)

PS; This seedings sticking onto players in the wrong draw has been around from outset. I believe for instance the main singles draw has/had qualifying seedings still attachng to players. So not to do with any new technical issues.

Yes, I now can't get draw details due to "technical difficulties".

I'd say the technical difficulties are that the website is not fit for purpose. But maybe the mixed seeding details being such a particular mess has prompted some action,

As a grrr aside I found they even mislead as to who is serving in their live scores between games, just changing the server marker across with the first point of a game. So at a change of ends A can be sitting there seemingly *4-3 up on B and you're like hey a break ahead. Naa, they served last, they resume and it's suddenly 4-3* 0-15.

It's quite a pretty site in places though !

They've sorted out their problem:

L32:  (1) Latisha Chan (TPE) & Jamie Murray CR 10 (1+9) vs Andreja Klepac & Rajeev Ram (SLO/USA) CR 46 (24+22)

Indy was quite correct:  only eight pairs are seeded.

Hard to imagine this will be a lasting partnership...I wonder whether we will see Jamie play with Heather at some stage in a slam, or laura even?
