Alex may have bombed out of the singles qualies, but he & Sánchez disposed of the Italians without too much difficulty: 2 & 3! Only trouble is:
QF: (1) Ivan Anikanov/Philipp Oswald (UKR/AUT) WR 829 vs Manuel Sánchez (MEX)/Alexander Ward WR 2128...
Not entirely unexpectedly, Anikanov & Oswald won by 4 & 2.
