Sad to see that the Divij-Rohan partnership seems to be over. Bad draw with Leander and Divij facing each other in R1 in Marrakech.

Divij needs to settle down with a new partner soon. He is still ranked 43, but has a lot of points to defend in the next few months. Leander still down at 89, below Purav (84) and Jeevan (67).

Paes/Paire beat the 4th seeded Marach/Oswald 75 36 10-2. RB/Inglot, the only remaining seeds, will be their SF opponents if they win their QF against Melzer/Skugor.

Not quite in Europe, but in Marrakech (Morocco), Paes-Paire took the first set of the SF 6-1 against Melzer/Skugor, but the latter are up 3-1 in the second set.

Yes, they failed to keep their momentum after winning the first set and lost in the match tie-break ... Still, overall a decent week for Lee with Benoit.
And agree Marrakech is in Africa. :D

Dusan Lajovic can play! He had some awesome shots at Monte Carlo where he lost to Fognini in the semis. Hope he doesn't carry his form into doubles as well.
