Pre-emptive.  If I hadn't said it, someone else would have.

Hopefully Luke and Ariel have an extended run of tournaments together, looks like a good partner to have snagged!

Tough draw. Fonesca only 17 and won his last challenger. Billy did though beat him on the grass in Nottingham.

To be honest having watched him I do not think he is the best player. Pavlasek the stronger player in his previous partnership.

 As long as Jake's forgiven him for Eastbourne I suppose wink

 Well done Billy - hadn't expected him to repeat his Nottingham win over Fonseca on a hard court.

Given billy is seeded six why is he playing the top seed in the r16?

 (Just as an aside: Eubanks isn't seeded, SC, he's not the top seed - that's Atmane)

A win over Eubanks would probably lead to Billy playing the top seed in the next round - perhaps that's where the confusion comes in.

And the Top seed is actually Safiullin (WR 66) - who plays Atmane in R2

A little bit of Monday morning syndrome on the board this morning.

Edit

All assuming Safiullin gets through R1. Even I'm suffering from Monday Morning syndrome.
