So Melzer/Roger-Vasselin reaching the final here would cement their place, in London, from what I can work out. Semi-final is the most they can reach with Jamie/Neal having a chance. Any win for Melzer-Vasselin here results in Jmaie/Neal needing to win the title.
The draw for o2 is this thursday apparently. But...melzer and erv are currently 8th, but a title could move them to 6th and a different seeding bracket...not sure how they will format the draw with that element unknown?
We don't have a singles thread for this event so just a little shout out for Jonas Foretjek, born 2001, the 2019 US Open Juniors champion who got a wildcard into the MD when a Bulgarian player tested positive, and then beat Cilic in two easy sets - PS you've got to feel sorry for the Bulgarian, you get a wildcard into your home country's event, the thing you've been needing/wanting/looking forward to, and then test positive just before .... :(
