With Arevalo & Pavic dropping their 1000 title points from last year, Brits currently take up 5 of the top 8 places in the live rankings.

Arevalo and Pavic lost to Djoko/Tsitisipas

Lloyd (seeded 1) and Neal are playing in the mixed doubles- unfortunately don't have time to post the draw properly.

It's a sixteen-team invitational event, so features quite a few singles players. Played in normal set and draw format.

Draw is here https://bnpparibasopen.com/scores/draws?selected=mixedDoubles

Cool - thanks. Ive said before, Id actually do this event differently. Id almost make it a Masters and invite the 8 or 12

or 16 top pairs from the 4 slams and make this a Mixed World Finals or some such. Give it some extra cache

Even as it, it has more cache for me than than the US Open mixed doubles. But yes could make some tweaks to enhance that even more.

I presume that both you & Poll meant "cacheT"?

Sorry. Indeed, I ( and I am sure Jon ) meant cachet

I did. And I prefer Jon from those who know me as Jon. It was the JonH Comes Home bit I didnt like - specifically the Comes Home. But JonH had an existing member using that name, albeit an old one, and so I couldnt use that.

One thing led to another and I ran with Pollie McPollface.

And being frank, not sure I like that either. But I dont think there is any point changing it again - as CD says, Sheddie has better things to do and I have no idea what else I would change it to.

Bit of a mess of my own making, tbh.

But please call me Jon

wolf · Tennis legend

I mean for the love of God I think you can just put a space in and call yourself Jon H or something and Sheddie can spend a couple of minutes changing it. Actually looking at the user list your old username (as in the 1st one) doesn't seem to be there anymore.
