Blake/Fish vs. Nestor/Zimonjic just started. As Jeronimo sent picks, Drikke is not yet thru finals. I will post diffs once Jeronimo sends me his picks for Bryans vs. Murray/Mirnyi

OK, I got them but I will not accept the last minute change from Jeronimo for first match since match has already started, so here are the diffs:

Congrats to the top seeds Robin Hood/MuriloBrasil for reaching the final.

Final against marr/MZverev-Fan starting tomorrow will be interesting.

Everything is still open in Singles DTT with the last minute picks from Jeronimo.

Blake/Fish have a double-break and lead 4-1 in first set, so Jeronimo should thank me not to take into account his last-second change of pick from Blake/Fish to Nestor/Zimonjic (match was already started)

[Drikke]

What a shame for me, 4 late picks and still I haven't won. And it looks like Jeronimo is going to tie it.

I told you in DTT comments that your opponent was excentric and spectacular. Even with 1 1/2 set handicap, he can still win the match.

Blake/Fish won first set 6/2.

[Drikke]

Since the names of the 2 DTT Doubles pairs are known, find hereunder an update of the DTT Doubles Race (in bold the pairs still playing in Rome).

1(1) Nadie/Bjorki 1395
2(2) Robin Hood/MuriloBrasil 1250
3(3) Gigi/tennis2006 850
4(4) Huff/Georg 760
5(6) Jeronimo/lucho_coria 725
6(5) diego36arg/trucul 625
7(7) HernyMag/meninosantos 375
8(NR) marr/MZverev-Fan 350

9(8) MZverev-Fan/Drikke 335
10(9) Salum/Snowwy 250
10(9) MuriloBrasil/Enjoy Incubus 250


MZverev-Fan/Drikke pair is now out of the top 8 (qualifications for DTT Doubles Masters) but the same MZverev-Fan is now in with marr.

If Mzverev-Fan pair wins in final, they will move to rank #7.
If Robin Hood/MuriloBrasil pair wins in final, they will be the new number #1 pair (1400 pts vs. 1395 pts for Nadie/Bjorki )
