The top seeds, Marach WR 2 & Pavic WR 3, have lost to Mayer & Sousa in R1.
And now the defending champions and 6th seeds, Rojer & Tecau ( although not having a great year ), have lost to Albot & Jaziri, the Skupskis' alts conquerors.
Rojer & Tecau were in Jamie & Bruno's quarter, Marach & Pavic in their half. Plenty tennis still to be played though before that possibly becomes at all relevant and plenty good pairs remain.
Excellent effort from Franko and Dom. That next rounds going to be really tough though.
Apologies for the lack of apostrophes by the way. I put them in but they disappear when I submit the post. Must be driving grammar fans crazy. (Maybe its because I post on an iPad?).

Albot & Jaziri follow up beating the Skupskis and then Rojer & Tecau by beating the Harrisons to reach the QF. They will be Jamie & Bruno's QF opponents if the boys can overcome Haase & Middelkoop in the L16.
Jamie & Bruno are 2nd on Grandstand. Dom & Franko vs M Bryan & Sock are not before 3.30 pm local at TBA.
