I am side-eying that list since Delpo is out of singles now.

I also heard that the Bryan Bros are out.

L16:  (4) Jamie Murray & Bruno Soares (BRA) CR 25 (12+13) vs Adrian Mannarino & Fabrice Martin (FRA/FRA) CR 384 (335+49)

L16:  Grigor Dimitrov & Ryan Harrison (BUL/USA) CR 319 (282+37) vs Kyle Edmund & Neal Skupski CR 302 (256+46)

If, by some miracle, Ken & Marius manage to qualify, they'll play the second seeds, Kontinen & Peers.

The fact that Kontinen & Peers are now the second seeds would appear to confirm that.

I am guessing that Neal and Ken have split up because their ranking wouldn't have got them in as a pair. Once again, I think it disgusting that they weren't given a WC as a pairing. They were Wimbledon quarter finalists last year and have an excellent grass court pedigree, yet we are giving WCs to overseas players. I understand that they are big name players and a crowd draw, but it is disrespectful to doubles players to give the WCs to others who have no real interest in doubles and are likely to pull out at the first sign of a twinge to protect their singles participation.

I would much rather see Neal playing with Ken than playing with Kyle.

On this particular occasion I agree Bob. Would be been nice to see Kyle and Cam play together and would've been a worthy entry given they won a title not so long ago.

Bob's injury must have flared up again:  just notice that Mike is playing in harness with Jack Sock.

So far, so good:

*****

FQR:  Daniel Nestor & Denis Shapovalov (CAN/CAN) CR 656 (101+455) vs (qWC) Marius Copil (ROU) & Ken Skupski CR 926 (876+50)

The Canucks saw off the q2s, Demoliner & Mayer, in straight sets.

Brilliant to watch 45 year-old Nestor today, with young gun, Shapo - a real crowd delight.

NB Saw Shapo exactly the same time last year, in qualis in singles - he looked so great then, got my money straight away, and does now too - and, goodness, he's put on a bit of bulk - lots of gym time gone on there.

But lovely for the two Canadians to play together, one old enough to be the other's dad. Lots of good learning and sharing going on there.
