The Skupskis won 6-3 3-6 12-10.

Joe Salisbury and Rajeev Ram are in to the semis too, and will play the Skupskis, so there will be British representation in the final.

The skupskis in form, though favoured their opponents in the last two matches. They will face Granollers/Zeballos in the final.

The Skupskis won the title, winning 7-6 6-4.
Delighted for them.
:trophy:

The win will see them enter the top 25 in the doubles rankings, and 6th in the Race to Turin. It's Kens' 6th title (1st 500) and Neals' 5th title(2nd 500).

I was so chuffed for Ken and Neal when I woke up to that great news. And so many other Brits left in the wake of their path to glory. Looking really good for British doubles. I intend to watch the replay later. Couldn't manage it live!
