 Right chaps, let's be winning a match or two after the Lexington misadventures of last week.

L16:  (1) Rajeev Ram (USA) & Joe Salisbury CR 72 (54+18) vs Nathaniel Lammons & Jackson Withrow (USA/USA) CR 182 (87+95)

The Yanks will be no pushovers.

L16:  Nam Jisung & Patrik Niklas-Salminen (KOR/SWE) CR 230 (120+110) vs Ariel Behar (URU) & Joshua Paris CR 219 (101+98)

Oh dear 6-3 2-0* and then the wheels came off.

Has 41 ranking points dropping off in August which, unless he wins matches, will see Paul falling close to WR 500.

He does then have a few months when he didn't play last year. Nothing then to defend before next year other than one point in late November.

Ha, just beat me as I woke up to that.

Was a good draw but still a very welcome win for Jack against the late blooming 32 yo clay courter ( CH 292 before challenger titles in May and June ).

It is Jack's first hard court win ( just 3 on clay, 2 on grass ) since he shot up the rankings with his run from qualifying to the ATP Dallas 500 QF in February.
