When Men's Singles Took Over Men's Doubles...

So 9 of the top 10 men's singles players decided to play doubles at IW.

The result? Not a single seeded 'regular' tour team made the Qf's.

NOT ONE.

Roger/Stan (above) & Rafa/Marc (below) beat the #2/#4 seeds in the 1st R.

The top seeded Bryan Bros. went out to Dolgopolov/Malisse last night.

There are 7 seeded singles players in the doubles Qf's.

In fact, defenders Rafa and Marc have already advanced to the Sf's.

Rub your eyes: We could easily see a singles oddity in the doubles Sf's...

We are 3 matches away from: Rafa vs Roger and Novak vs Andy M.

What on earth does this say about the ATP doubles tour?
