I wonder if Pedro and Joao Sousa are related.

I wonder if Pedro and Joao Sousa are related.

I'm pretty sure that Sousa is like "Smith" in Portuguese, but who knows? I'm still laughing about when Joao Sousa played Joao Souza. That poor chair umpire.

At least they are not from the same country so ump could say "Advantage Sousa Portugal".

Yeah, I guess it is a common last name. Just checked Pedro, he played this tournament in 2011 and lost to Delpo in 3 sets, then in 2013 also lost in the first round to Goffin in 3.

borna coric has won a match already, wasted a qualifier in straights, nick k has not played yet so he has not won a match here so far.
