(

)
(Preview)

Yet another crap draw for Jonny M - with a different partner! Likewise for Rosco, though good to see him back on the main tour, even if he's not in harness with Colin. Presumably the WC is courtesy of his Dutch partner. R1: (3) Daniel Nestor & Nenad Zimonjic (CAN/SRB) CR 27 (15+12) vs Jonny Marray...

Apologies if I've been out of the loop, but Alex now hasn't played for over 6 months. Has he retired or is he having a temporary or injury enforced break? Hadn't seen any announcements. Thanks.
