At least Luke & Sander have a shot, with their Q WC. And not really making great use of that so far, having lost the first set to Dan & Henry 2-6.

Except that it's Dan & Henry who were awarded the qWC.  Luke & Sander were the q1s.

True. Still fair point made, err if you just bypass the "with their Q WC" bit 

FQR:  Rohan Bopanna & Sander Gillé (IND/BEL) CR 106 (50+56) defeated (qWC) Daniel Evans & Henry Searle UNR by 4 & 5

No great surprise.  Bops & Gillé will play Mensik & Rune in the first round.   I'd have given Luke & Sander a better chance of beating those two than Dan & Henry.

Luke slipped and injured either his thumb or wrist.

Apparently Court 1 which is to the side of the big stands on Centre Court has a massive problem where after 3pm ish the shadows come on and get greasy. For a few years players have been slipping and having bad injuries.

They can't really not play matches on that court as it's the only outside court with a stand but there is room on another court and the should have put that stand on there.

Luke is having a scan to check whether its just a sprain or a fracture.

 Oh gosh. What was wrong with him last week, when he skipped the week but Sander still played? 

Joe/Neal vs Cam/Jake into a MTB

Edit: ...which Cam/Jake take 13-11

 Wowser, well done Jake and Cam, Neal and Joe will be disappointed but it is just a blip!

Loving watching a bit of Marcus & David

Taking the first set

You forget about Marcus' out wide lefty serve - it's got the French guys bamboozled - they know exactly where it's going but there's nothing they can do about it

Mind you, don't know whether our lads can keep it up

Where are you seeing that, CD?  Can't be arsed with Moutet vs Fritz, but nowt else seems to be available on the Beeb & would love to watch David & Marcus.
