Cash & Galloway into a MTB vs Ram & Salisbury.

Can they get another scalp after their Delray Beach final win over Gonzalez & Skupski?


 10-8, they can!

As well as Julian, we have Neal, Jamie and Lloyd (and lower down Luke) still in action this week - instinct tells me we will see a title again this week. Going back to back is hard, it doesnt happen often, so not sure Julian will quite get to that level this week; going to look to him and Robert to do things in Acapulco. 


They arent in IW (alternates, around 8th or so) but maybe can get a lift into Miami with a good week this week and next?

The Indian Wells doubles cut-off is incredibly high as usual at 60. But that includes 13 pairs with singles players so a lot of good doubles pairs miss out.  Which opens up the usual debate: who's better, singles or doubles players; is it fair that players can use their singles ranking to enter; how many walkovers will be given?

As an aside, have always wondered whether the short (ATP) or long (Slam) scoring format suits doubles specialists more? Are doubles specialists more likely to play well on key points, or does the reduced format make it more of a crap shoot?

An interesting choice to play on clay in Brazil when there was an event in Mexico on hard court this week.

 Well- he is defending champion! He beat Alcaraz in the final last year. So he was defending the title and 500 points. Los Cabos was his first title , of course, but with 500 points here and the title to defend, I guess he had a big desire to be here in Rio!
