What have now become "the usual suspects" in the draw for us, though sadly, not Luke & Sander:
L32: Jamie Murray & Rajeev Ram (USA) CR 47 (20+27) vs Hugo Nys & Edouard Roger-Vasselin (MON/FRA) CR 68 (33+35)
L32: (4) Simone Bolelli & Andrea Vavassori (ITA/ITA) CR 17 (9+8) vs Joe Salisbury & Neal Skupski CR 50 (33+17)
L32: (7) Julian Cash & Lloyd Glasspool CR 29 (15+14) vs Sander Gillé & Jan Zielinski (BEL/POL)
L32: Yuki Bhambri & Robert Galloway (IND/USA) CR 62 (34+28) vs (2) Harri Heliövaara (FIN) & Henry Patten CR 7 (3+4)
The top seeds are Arévalo & Pavic.

Thanks. I was rather hoping that that might be the case.

Julian & Lloyd are being replaced by ALTs.
Any idea why Julian and Lloyd had to withdraw? Its a real shame, they did well on the clay in Monte Carlo and I think they are still genuine challengers at this top level.

Lloyd's left wrist is the problem.
Ok, thanks - Henry also has a problem last event didnt he, hope he has recovered properly

Tough match, but at least they're in!

Was that their first taste of a Masters event?
Yes, first ATP 1000 game for both though they've played at slams.
