Jonny is about to start.

As is the popcorn match between Mektic/Pavic and Kokkinakis/Kyrgios.

 Jonny hit the buffers against Granolers and Zeballos, 3rd seeds, lost 6-3 6-3.

Joe and Rajeev win but sadly Dom and Ken lose today.

So, Neal, Jamie and Joe and partners into last 16, in line with seedings

Jamie plays his last 16 tonight, Joe and Neal must be on Monday our time.

For what it is worth, Joe and Neals pairings have lost the least games in reaching the last 16, 9 and 10 respectively. Both okay unseeded opponents next as well. Room for cautious optimism for both pairs. Jamie and Bruno have had a slightly tougher route, losing a set, and play Bolelli and Fognini next, so a tougher draw as well.

Jamie plays tonight and a win would be excellent.

Notice Harri described Lloyd cramping in their match as 'almost unforgivable at this level' (or at least that's what google translate tells me). He is always brutally honest, but I wonder how Lloyd feels about the public dressings down...

Harri probably isn't wrong though, that must be lack of fitness?

 Some people are just more prone to cramping, I never cramp, my son has awful problems, sometimes waking in the night yelling in pain.  Similar diet, he's better at drinking water and is fitter than me.

 That's really interesting, I just always assumed it was lack of fitness in someway.

I find adding a bit of salt prevents cramps.
