So, still waiting for a first round win other than in a Challenger 175 since the AO SFs...  Is this partnership really working?

 Not bad for a first match of a scratch pairing and with Nys a hometown player

I see that both Sinner and Z Bergs as well as Lehecka and Mensik gave walk overs as both in the singles. I feel this is rather unfair on the doubles players. If singles players want to play in the doubles thats fine but they shouldnt be allowed to give walkovers just because they have singles matches to play. The doubles players need points and money! What does anyone else think?

 They can easily put a stop to it by only accepting the top ranked doubles players.  But of course they won't.

Just one of those things like sudden needs to go to the toilet after losing a set. We all know it's not right but it won't ever change.

Just to put the other side, I don't have a problem with it

As in, it's a shame to have walkovers, of course, but a lot of people (me probably included) would prefer to see people they know (i.e. singles players) on the doubles court, rather than unheard of doubles players, and they're happy to accept a few walkovers, if that's the price to pay
