Hopefully that doubles win will instill some confidence for Kyle's singles tomorrow.

Not to mention Delpo/Nish, Schwartzman/Thiem, Cecchinato/Fucsovics & Dimi/Khachanov & Foggy, Koolhof & Medvedev hanging on to the coattails of established doubles players, which the latter are presumably happy to go along with because they aren't ranked highly enough to get into a Masters event with a more regular partner!  furious  The odious one & Tomic are in as WCs.  Let's hope Henri & John can see 'em off. 

Jeepers!  Dimi & Khachanov have beaten the fourth seeds, Cabal & Farah, by 2 & 5, while the local WCs, Marrero & Verdasco, lost to Schwartzman & Thiem in three...  disbelief

I bet Cabal & Farah are now as sick as a footballer's much-loved parrot:  Dimi apparently has a problem with his right shoulder, so they've given Schwartzman & Thiem a walkover into the quarters...  disbelief

That's another reason why I don't like this situation of letting singles players into doubles on their singles ranking. One slight niggle and they withdraw to protect their singles participation.

 2 wins then in round one...you can send the cheque in the post , Indy! biggrin

Seriously , well done to Jamie for a good win, and  I think their doubles nous will get them through an attractive last 16 match with Delpo and Nishikori

Court 5 is absolutely PACKED already for Nishikori/Del Potro-Soares/Murray doubles. Crazy (but expected).

Jamie & Bruno were broken for 5-6* against del Potro & Nishikori but broke straight back, took the TB, and have broken at the start of set 2.

7-6(5) *1-0

Pushed 'em close:

L16:  Jean-Julien Rojer & Horia Tecau (NED/ROU) CR 59 (26+33) defeated Kyle Edmund & Neal Skupski CR 268 (236+32) by 6-2 6-7(4) [10-5]

Commendable effort.

Commendable effort.

Very much reliant on their service games to stay in it. Didn't seem to have much of a return game/strategy going.

Service points: 46 (71%) - 19

Rdturn points: 6 (11%) - 51

Total points: 52 - 70

Just Koolhof & Tsitsipas's 3rd event together this year. In the second they reached the Miami Masters final, losing to the Bryans, and beat Jamie & Bruno in a MTB at the L16 stage. 

Here they beat in form (5) Mektic & Skugor, the Monte Carlo Masters winners, 6-2 6-4 to reach this stage.

Clearly rather useful together.
