Le duo de choc

RAFA AND LOPEZ TO TEAM UP IN CINCY

With Rafa still on a quest to get more matches under his belt in the lead up to the US Open, he and Feliciano Lopez are doubling up again for the week in Cincy, and have entered the main doubles draw as wildcards. The Spanish pair entered the Rogers Cup doubles draw last week and made it through to the second round before losing a tight match against Santoro and Zimonjic.

Their first round victims last week will be there first round opponents this week in Cincy. They are up against Cermak and Friedl again who they beat in straight sets in Toronto. With Rafa's singles campaign kicking off on Tuesday in Cincy, he will hit the courts with Lopez on Monday. Their match is fourth out on Court three starting not before 4pm, although it is scheduled for a possible court change so keep an eye out for that if you are heading out there to watch it! Good luck Rafa and Feliciano!
