L16:  Santiago González & Andrés Molteni (MEX/ARG) CR 70 (30+40) vs (2) Wesley Koolhof (NED) & Neal Skupski CR 7 (3+4)

 Dan coming up against Joe is serendipity! Nice timing ! 

 Well that resolves that issue.

Its felt like Dan has been due a big week, hes played well in many matches but its not turned into many wins. Could this week or Paris be it?

Well, they won the last two tournaments they played, including the US Open, so I'm not sure there's any need for concern - they just haven't played in a long time. 

Peers was the MVP today I think, but Dan played really well too; Joe & Rajeev had some serving issues.

A shout out to the Vienna ball boys with their lacrosse style ball scoops!

A great innovation I have never seen before - well done Vienna :)

 Actually, I remember seeing ballboys using badminton rackets with nets fixed to them when I was a kid, before I even started playing. This must have been in the late 70s. But I have to agree that it is a great idea!  I don't understand whymore tournaments don't use this system.  In just a few years' time, the ball boys will be out of a job (and hence have fewer excuses for not doing their homework). Little droids plastered in advertising logos will take their place. But I bet that Wimbledon will be the last tournament to adopt such technology!

With Joe & Rajeev losing in R1, if Neal & Wesley had also managed not to lose too but instead gone on to reach the final Neal would have been WR 1 by himself next Monday.

If if ...

Neal & Wesley though are now in pole position to be joint WR 1 when last year's Paris and ATP Finals points come off.

They also though looked to be in pole position going into the US Open before Joe & Rajeev retained that title.

 Feels a bit like stumbling over the line. Not sure if nerves play a part but it does seem both pairs are making a pigs ear of this!

I watched the Dan v Joe match through last night. Dan wasnt particularly good, in fact the match wasnt particularly good. But Dan seemed very relaxed, Peers was solid, Joe seemed v tight and Rajeev seemed just way off. Not sure if Dan just got to Joe mentally or whether it was a bad day at the office!

Cam is playing Giron in round 2

And will play Dan in the QF if he wins:

L16:  Marcos Giron (USA) WR 58 (CH = 49 in May) vs (7) Cameron Norrie WR 13

 not quite, they are opposite halves ! Dan has Shapo or Fritz next. Cam is next to him in draw but top half!

Whoops!  So they are.    I think I need to return to Specsavers... 

 The way things have started dont look good for Cam t reach this next match - a set down to Giron, 6-3
