If we're doing the walkovers rule in dubs, I'm left with Bopanna/Vasselin. @Krish872007 , it's still a valid pick even though their original opponents dropped out???

I believe so, its the same circumstance if a lucky loser replaces your picks original opponent in the singles. I think it is still valid

If I bothered to do my research I would've seen that Nys/Arneodo made the SF in Monte Carlo last year and yet I went against them in the 1R for Gonzalez/McLachlan.

@Krish872007 , we've now had a third walkover in a 27-match format this week with Goffin/Dimitrov pulling out an hour after finishing their singles match.

Can we discuss modifying the w/o rule for dubs before the next tournament??? That's a very high ratio of w/o's (1 in 3).

Let's talk

OK to advance on a w/o from QFs onward is the simplest modification.

OK to advance on a w/o from QFs onward is the simplest modification.

Sounds like a fair compromise, we'll implement that in every tournament from now on.
Let me have a look at what's been happening in the Doubles so far here
