Colin's trying his hand at singles again. Wonder who his partner will be in the doubles...
QR1: Sekou Bangoura (USA) WR 535 vs Colin Fleming UNR
Needless to say, they've never met, but if he gets through that (KO 15.00 BST), he'll have to play his QR2 against the q4, Damir Dzumhur (WR 117), later in the day...
