Looks like Joe will be trying to play with Heather at the Olympics instead of Katie then - they will need to make the cut though.

 Not necessarily. I think they'd prefer to play together, but will need to make a decision at the Olympics based on the potential entries.

On a separate note, 8 wild cards in a mixed doubles draw of 32 is crazy. Regular doubles has 7 wild cards in a draw of 64.

Presumably Katie will be aiming at singles and womens doubles with Heather , so may not be really interested in mixed, all things being equal. And Joe and Heather would feel like a better pairing if they got the chance, than Joe and Katie. I forget the rules now, would Neal be in the mixed tombola as well?

Yes I know, hence why I said they will be TRYING to play together e.g. it would be Joes preference to play with Heather over Katie.

Sorry, realise we were saying the same thing. I wonder if there will be a sign up sheet where people can look at who else has entered when making their decision.

L32: Heather Watson & Joe Salisbury CR 52 (47+5) defeated (WC) Fiona Ferro & Pierre-Hugues Herbert (FRA/FRA) CR 397 (314+83) by 6-2 6-4

L16: (4) Desirae Krawczyk (USA) & Neal Skupski CR 24 (14+10) vs Heather Watson & Joe Salisbury CR 52 (47+5)

Well at least one Brit will reach the quarter final then!
