The doubles draws are out now too. The British women have more middling draws than in the singles, with none of the pairs being drawn against top 8 seeds. The Katies and Anna/ Xenia have the toughest first round matches, as the two pairs up against seeds. 

R64: Katie Boulter/ Katie Swan (GBR/GBR) 847 (462+385) vs Lucie Hradecka/ Su-Wei Hsieh (CZE/ TPE)[14] 67 (48+19)

R64: Xenia Knoll/ Anna Smith (SUI/GBR) 116 (67+49) vs Raquel Atawo/ Anna-Lena Groenefeld (USA/GER) [11] 49 (33+16)

R64: Tatjana Maria/ Heather Watson (GER/GBR) 165 (106+59) vs Chen Liang/ Shuai Zhang (CHN/CHN) 173 (97+76)

R64: Naomi Broady/ Asia Muhammad (GBR/USA) 171 (70+101) vs Christina McHale/ Jelena Ostapenko (USA/LAT) 713 (669+44)

R64: Harriet Dart/ Katy Dunne (GBR/GBR) 332 (155+177) vs Kateryna Bondarenko/ Aleksandra Krunic (UKR/SRB) 109 (55+54)

I hope I am not too pessimistic, but that feels like it has a 1 win tournament over it for me (Heather), in round one

Broadly v. Ostapenko... remember what happened last time they were on court together? Careers gone in opposite directions since but wonder if there will be any animosity...

Ah yes indeed, Naomi had a bit of an OTT moment at Ostapenko's idly tossed to the side racket that apparently bounced on to touch a ball boy at a slightly less than epic speed.

What a difference it makes without the no-ad rule.
Naomi and Asia just saved 3 set points on Naomi's serve, in a game with 12 deuces.
