Movistar Draw

The top seeds are Brazilians Melo and Sa followed by Cuevas and Garcia.

Jamie Murray is also in the draw as he warms up for the Davis Cup. Murray will be playing with Nicholas Lapentti. I think that the original plan was to play with Ross Hutchins but their combined ranking wasn't enough to secure entry into the draw.

I was about to say that warming up for the davis Cup in Chile seems like a silly idea - but they're playing in Argentina aren't they? :unsure:

Yep, it's in Argentina!

As far as I can see, there was only one doubles result yesterday and that was the loss of the top seeds!

Garcia/ Ramirez Hidalgo d Melo/ Sa [1] 7-6(2) 6-3

oooh - them of Wimbledon fame! didn't they play about 40 games or something in their final set?

Yep, that's them!
