So we have Jonny, joe and Ken in the last 16.

 Ken and Gonzalez play krajicek and skugor in last 16 and then an unseeded pair in last 8. Big opportunity for Ken. 

 

Jonny and Arevalo play Peers and Venus, tougher quarter of draw. 

 

Joe and Rajeev play Granollers and Zeballos and then maybe unseeded pair in last 8, so again an opportunity for them with top seeds out. 

 

Draw is really wide open and with playing mtbs in this it really is anyones to make a name for themselves

That was always going to be a tough match for Jamie & Neal.

Joe & Rajeev lost in the 3rd round to the same pair at the US Open.

 Agreed. Looking at the live rankings, ken is back into top 50 currently, another win for Jonny would take him top 50. Joe is 19th and another win would raise him to 16th. 

 

Obviously lots of other players, 32 to be more accurate,  still in this round so a lot can change.
