The Draw

Top seeds Mike and Bob Bryan face an interesting opening match against Robredo and Nadal and then a potentially tough match against the unseeded Bjorkman and Ullyett.

Murray and Mirnyi face a second round rematch against Clement and Llodra, thati's if they manage to negotiate their first match against Giquel and Santoro.
