Good question.
In the men’s, two all-British duos progressed: Joe Salisbury/Neal Skupski (6) beat Andrés Molteni/Maximo Gonzalez 6-1, 6-7(7), 7-6(7), and Julian Cash/Lloyd Glasspool beat Guido Andreozzi/Marcelo Demoliner 6-3, 6-4.
Marcel Granollers/Horacio Zeballos (4) also defeated American Robert Galloway and partner Yuki Bhambri 6-4, 3-6, 7-6(4), while home favorite Henry Patten/Harri Heliövaara (2) progressed via walkover against Jordan Thompson/Pierre-Hugues Herbert.
That was due to Thompson’s injury, which saw him forced to pull out of his singles match with Taylor Fritz (5) yesterday.
In the women’s, five results:
- U.S. player Krawczyk/Gadecki beat Birrell/Joint 6-3, 6-4; Stefani/Babos (10) beat Kichenok/Perez (7) 7-5, 6-4
- Second seeds Routliffe/Dabrowski beat Khromacheva/Stollár (13), 7-6(1), 7-6(2)
- And two walkovers: Americans Dolehide/Kenin (16) through against Krejčíková/Chan, Mertens/V. Kudermetova through against Haddad Maia/Siegemund (11).
Those walkovers likely brought about due to Krejčíková’s physical issues in her loss against Emma Navarro on Saturday, and Siegemund’s surprise progression to the quarterfinals in the singles. She plays top seed Aryna Sabalenka on Centre Court tomorrow.
