Current champions: Joe Salisbury & Rajeev Ram (USA). The GB rep this time (& for the first time) will, of course, be Henry Patten, playing alongside Harri Heliövaara (FIN).
To be played on Sunday, 10th November (not before 17.00 GMT):
Mike Bryan Group
RR1: (2) Marcel Granollers & Horacio Zeballos (ESP/ARG) CR 2 (1+1) vs (7) Harri Heliövaara (FIN) & Henry Patten CR 27 (14+13)
Koolhof/Mektic (3) & Purcell/Thompson (5) are the other pairs in the Group.
All 8 matches so far have been straight sets. That sort of pattern happened at London O2 a couple of times. Tiredness in some players leg s or maybe expectations of classic battles too high?!
