I thought peschke and raymond were seeded 3?
Ah, they are. I had two teams' seeding switched on the list I was looking at. Thanks, David. Correction made.
It's nice to see two famous singles players team up and do so well at an event like this. I think some more players should do this, as it would really highlight doubles more which is a good thing as doubles is very exciting.
Diane, do you think that having a mixed doubles competition at a mens/womens event would be good?
I think it would be fun for people like us, Matt, but I don't think the tournament directors could find a way to fit it in. And I don't know whether the players would be interested. Mixed doubles is such an afterthought for them.
