I think Harri and Henry are playing with less freedom and more self imposed pressure since sometime this season; maybe striving for top rankings caused them both, Harri certainly to focus too much on that and lose the freedom to play their best tennis. Maybe they need to play Winston Salem next week, and just focus on enjoying themselves for now.

 That's to be expected, but they're still third in the race.  With the exception of Cash and Glasspool recently, a lot of pairs have been up and down this season.

 Agreed. 

as an aside, Lloyd is now showing as live WR1, Julian as 2

Cincinnati has had a huge transformation, but sounds like a bit of self promotion.
