The "Forgotten Man", Ken Skupski, spurns the home tournament to compete for a bigger prize in sunny Suisse with yet another partner:
R1: (3) Ken Skupski & Horacio Zeballos (ARG) vs Kristijan Mesaros & Ante Pavic (CRO/CRO)
I hope he fares better there than he did in Eckental!
Skups back on the winning trail at last!
QF: (3) Ken Skupski & Horacio Zeballos (ARG) vs Karol Beck & Michal Mertinak (SVK/SVK)

First set in the bag for the Forgotten Man & Zeballos by 6-4.

Have to say, Zeballos did well, as he'd taken 2:35 to overcome Lammer in the second round of the singles only an hour or so previously.
SF: (1) James Cerretani & Adil Shamsdin (USA/CAN) vs (3) Ken Skupski & Horacio Zeballos (ARG)
Not going too well for the Forgotten Man at the moment: first set down the pan by 4-6.
A ray of hope for TFM & Zeballos? They get an early break & lead by *2-0 in the second set.
A break which they eventually consolidated: 3-0*.
