Closer towards the end but the winners never really in doubt.

Well done to Joe and Rajeev, Jamie and Bruno still alive but now needing a couple of wins if they are going to progress

It is hard to tell with the dark shadowy background, but the Turin stadium seemed quite empty today for Djoko's match. Last night seemed quite full for the evening session with Berrettini though. Not sure generally how the crowds are but after the O2 being full each session, largely, it seems like less are going along to Turin

Unfortunately I think they are only allowing 60% capacity ish for the matches due to COVID!

Ah , ok makes sense

Berrettini seems to be ready to go tomorrow night against Hurkacz

Medvedev got another win today, 3 sets over Zverev. DM is now 2 wins out of 2; looks strong for semis.

Granollers and Zeballos sprung a surprise and beat Mektic and Pavic in 2 sets and also go 2 out of 2.

Berrettini is definitely out and will be replaced by Sinner for tonights match against Hurkacz.

If Sinner can beat Hurkacz and Zverev he can make the last 4 - worth playing for.

Cam is definitely there as 2nd alt I read, so would be next in if anyone else pulls out

As Jon said, after winning their opening match, Mektic & Pavic lost their second match to Granollers & Zeballos.

If they won no further matches here and Joe & Rajeev were undefeated champions, Joe would go to doubles WR 1 for the first time.

Jamie and Bruno have the opening match again today against Cabal and Farah - pretty much a must win.

Joe and Rajeev will be on around 5.30 pm against French pair Herbert and Mahut. A win could see them through to the semis of Jamie also wins his match.

Sinner won - so if Zverev loses to Hurkacz, Sinner can reach the semis if he beats Medvedev. Hurkacz can still make the semis if he wins against Zverev and Sinner loses; Zverev definitely through if he beats Hurkacz. Medvedev is home and dry regardless in top spot.

Jamie and Bruno started poorly and are two breaks down, 5-2 with Cabal and Farah serving for the first set. On this quick surface, two breaks is disappointing in this level of doubles. But equally, with the MTB format it can quickly turn round
