And no Joe either, both of which seems surprising.
Dom Inglot's just said in the course of the commentary on the Williams/Murray vs Rosolska/Venus match (they're waiting for the roof over N° 1 Court to be closed) that Joe felt that his back wasn't quite up to both the men's doubles & the mixed.
L32: Samantha Stosur & Matthew Ebden (AUS/AUS) CR 42 (31+11) vs (WC) Heather Watson & Ken Skupski CR 216 (109+107)
Ken & Heather have withdrawn, according to the Beeb - apparently, Heather has an injury to her left knee.
Clearly that is just the line they need to spin- I dont think Heather has a real injury! Shame Ken couldnt find an alternative partner but hes still in mens so gets to play some more.

My thoughts exactly: she looked OK in her second round women's doubles win with Harriet Dart. Disappointed for Ken.
Kyle and Olivia on soon, ct 3. Don't know how much hope they have against Jack Sock and Coco Gauff. Latter have both played singles matches and lost today so might be motivated to continue playing or exhausted.
