What have now become "the usual suspects" in the draw for us, though sadly, not Luke & Sander:

L32:  Jamie Murray & Rajeev Ram (USA) CR 47 (20+27) vs Hugo Nys & Edouard Roger-Vasselin (MON/FRA) CR 68 (33+35)

L32:  (4) Simone Bolelli & Andrea Vavassori (ITA/ITA) CR 17 (9+8) vs Joe Salisbury & Neal Skupski CR 50 (33+17)

L32:  (7) Julian Cash & Lloyd Glasspool CR 29 (15+14) vs Sander Gillé & Jan Zielinski (BEL/POL)

L32:  Yuki Bhambri & Robert Galloway (IND/USA) CR 62 (34+28) vs (2) Harri Heliövaara (FIN) & Henry Patten CR 7 (3+4)

The top seeds are Arévalo & Pavic.

Luke and Sander are 1st alternates and surely a good chance one of the singles pairs will withdraw. They are also 1st alternates for Rome.

Thanks.  I was rather hoping that that might be the case.

They are now 3 alternates spaces but whom Luke & Sander will play against looks like will be decided in the morning.

Any idea why Julian and Lloyd had to withdraw? Its a real shame, they did well on the clay in Monte Carlo and I think they are still genuine challengers at this top level.

L32: (5) Marcel Granollers & Horacio Zeballos (ESP/ARG) CR 21 (10+11) vs (ALT) Sander Arends (NED) & Luke Johnson CR 81 (41+40)

They are 4th on Court 4 today, the only Brits on the schedule.

Yes, first ATP 1000 game for both though they've played at slams.

Roger-Vasellin and Nys are out so Jamie and Rajeev will have different opponents

That will be no cakewalk!

Interesting that Krajicek is back as it looked like hed given clay a miss. I wonder if he and Ram are done or planning on getting together post clay/American hardcourts.
