Delgado and Skupski have got into their first ATP500 event, albeit as Alternates.
They replaced Marrero/Garcia-Lopez and proceeded to knock out the 4th seeds in their R1 match.
That banks them 90 points each, and $7,670 in prize money divided between them.

There were 2 other British players into the draw as well - Dom Inglot, with regular partner Treat Huey, and Jonny Marray with Matt Ebden. The 2 pairs were scheduled to meet in the Quarters but Jonny and Matt lost in R1.

Delski play their QF tonight around 10.45pm UK against an American WC pair; Ingluey on around midnight UK against tougher opponents Qureshi/Farah.

More British tennis success today in Washington DC.
Dom Inglot (GBR)/Treat Huey(Phi) win their first ATP titles over Querrey/Anderso.

That's massive for them because this is an ATP500 so shedloads of points (and some $$$'s).
