If you ever wondered the difference between what happens live and when you see on TV, I had a very clear angle on this in Miami…https://t.co/jFLasdaHva

Stojsavljevic and Dart - neither among the world’s top 100 - notched major upsets against Gibson and Birrell respectively.

If GB wins the doubles match tomorrow at noon, that will be it.

How can we be drawn away when seeded?

Switzerland was also seeded and drawn away.

Seems stupid, why seed then?

They take into account the host of the previous time the nations met in the tournament, because we hosted France previously, they get to choose whether to host.

The seeding stops two nations from the qualifying round facing each other - each nation from the qualifying round plays a nation that qualified via a zonal system.

Interesting, I wonder why they do that rotational part.

Roland-Garros will crown a new champion this year.

His camp now even feared that Wimbledon would be too early to return.

Apparently it isn’t easy to be a Madrid semifinalist.

On the men’s side, 3 players in the top 10 - including 1 and 2 seeds - will play quarterfinals tonight.
