SF:  Jonathan Eysseric (FRA) & Joe Salisbury CR 167 (81+86) vs Wesley Koolhof & Artem Sitak (NED/NZL) CR 115 (60+55)

The Dutch/Kiwi duo did for the third seeds, Marc López & David Marrero, in three sets in the first round.

QF:  Kyle Edmund & Cameron Norrie UNR (0+614) defeated (WC) Álex de Miñaur & Lleyton Hewitt (AUS/AUS) CR 1322 (1134+188) by 6-4 7-6(4)  

Bit of a wobble towards the end of the second set there!  Took 'em a while to convert a match point!  smile

*****

SF:  Leonardo Mayer & João Sousa (ARG/POR) CR 308 (98+210) vs Kyle Edmund & Cameron Norrie UNR (0+614)

Bit of a wobble in both sets, letting the Aussie's back in both times.

Just as kyle played and beat de minaur twice here, he now plays jaoa sousa in his second matches in both singles and doubles.

I see that 19yo Stefanos Tsitsipas has followed up his ATP 500 Barcelona final ( among others beat Thiem and Carreno Busta before losing to Nadal ) by here beating the top seed, Kevin Anderson, in 3 sets. Cam so close to playing him in the QF.

(2) Carreno Busta, in the other half, is the only seed left that can join (3) Kyle in the QF. PCB is one set to the good.

It would be good to see a Kyle vs Busta ATP final with their futures history against each other.

Also worth a mention wily old Malek Jaziri has knocked out Cilic in straight sets in Istanbul. Challenger level field remaining there at quarters stage with Lorenzi 60plus ranking the top player left.

A few younger players coming through the rankings as mentioned before but 28/50 in the mens game at the top of the rankings are in their 30th year still which surprised me after I checked.

 Good point, and maybe he was conserving energy......

Good warm up for Cam and Kyle for RG! Kyle has a pretty impressive doubles track record there ?he may not ever have lost a game of doubles on the Paris dirt and doubles is a pretty good ruse to get your opponent to hit to your fearhand!

So Kyle is 4-0 down in the 3rd set, disappointing that he seems to have lost his way. Really expected him to win this one (the match, not the event particularly)

5-0 down only 5 points won and 27% first serves on surely suggests he has an injury maybe?

What is going on ? Kyle has only won 5 points in the final set and is *0-5 down.
