Sort of revenge (half) for Miami final, well done to H and H

the 16 players in the mens doubles QF's are all ranked in the top 22 (Guinard is 22) in the live rankings.

Hard to imagine a higher ranked last 8 in doubles

If they let more doubles players play in these tournaments then wed all know them! We dont because the singles players push them out and then give walkovers because they value the singles more! Really sad because up and coming doubles players cant get the experiences they need to develop fully.

oh well, - welcome to the clay court season!

tbh, apart from Henry and Harri who have done well all season, and Neal and Christian winning the AO, it hasn't been the best of starts to the top level doubles season for the Brits. And yet, we did get an AO win and we H and H are generally doing well, I think the top two pairs in the Race at end Q1.

Hard to know what to generally think, really
