Jamie Murray aims to turn around his form partnering Simon Aspelin and they have as kinder draw as they could have hoped; they face Rik De Voest & Bobby Reynolds (RSA/USA). Reynolds though is fresh off from winning the Sunrise challenger with Booty last week.
Ross Hutchins has chosen Jordan Kerr as his partner this week and they have drawn the 8th seeds Marcelo Melo & Andre Sa (BRA) who Hutch and Andy thrashed in R2 of Indian Wells.
Also, intestingly, Stephen Huss & Ashley Fisher are also in the draw despite losing in the first round of Jersey today. As well as making today suspiciously look like a tank isn't it against the rules too play two tournaments in one week?

Wow! In Jamie's & Simon's quarter of the draw, JB & JWT have just taken out the third seeds, Bhupathi & Knowles, 3-6 7-5 [10-6], & so will be their opponents in the second round, if they get past de Voest & Reynolds...!

And that match against de Voest & Reynolds will be first on Court 8 at 15.00 BST tomorrow, while Ross Hutchins & Jordan Kerr will take on the eighth seeds (Melo & Sá) in the third match on Court 6 tomorrow. Good luck, lads...!

Not such a good start for Murray and Aspelin.... *3-0 down already
Unfortunately, not to be JM&SA lost 6-1 7-6(4). Where does Jamie go from here?
Oh dear! Kinda making JL's case for him with performances like that, isn't he? Jamie's certainly got to do something to turn things round... How long before the new coach makes his presence felt?
