L16: Emil Ruusovuori & João Sousa (FIN/POR) CR 541 (402+139) vs Cameron Norrie & Tommy Paul (USA) CR 262 (157+105)

L16: (WC) Leo Borg & Simon Freund (SWE/SWE) CR 1651 (1229+422) vs (3) Lloyd Glasspool & Harri Heliövaara (FIN) CR 36 (22+14)

Here's hoping Sousa has even less success with Ruusovuori than he did with Jamie!

Cam and Lloyd won their respective doubles matches pretty easily.

Leo is not Bjorn, that is for sure. Not even his Freund could help him.

L16: Aslan Karatsev (***) WR 45 (CH 14 this year) vs (2) Cameron Norrie WR 14

K and K are confirmed for Turin , which means Lloyd and Harri need a top 8 finish for one of the final 3 places. They are over 400 points clear of 9th plus whatever they get this week so are looking strong .

No, they need to be top 7.

If K&K finish in the top 7 then Ebden/Purcell will qualify using the Slam winners spot.

If K&K finish outside the top 7 then they themselves will qualify using the Slam winners spot.

Ah ok - misread the rule again! I saw k and k had qualified on live tennis , not the atp though , and assumed that meant they had sewn up the place for slam winners . Duh

As an aside, I see Paris doubles entry is out and Jamie is with Ebden there as well as next week. The Cabral pairing seems to be over? And Ebden and Purcell seem to be lacking Purcell at the moment !?

Purcell is concentrating on his singles at the moment.

Thank you for the insight. Also thanks for updating the scores and results again. I see SC hasnt been able to the past couple of days, I hope she is ok and not poorly again.
