Chris & Dom were always going to be up against it, but it looks as though they were competitive & should learn from the experience at this level:
QF: Chris Eaton & Dominic Inglot lost to (2) Michal Mertinak & Igor Zelenay (SVK/SVK) by 6-7(4) 6-7(6)
Pity they couldn't've nicked that second tie-break to take it into an MTB!
SF: (1) Dustin Brown (GER) & Jonny Marray vs (4) Johan Brunström & Lovro Zovko (SWE/CRO)
Pity Delgo & Skups couldn't make it an all-seeded affair in the lower half of the draw!

Well done, Dustin and Jonny. Now don't go letting us down in the final.
Final: (1) Dustin Brown (GER) & Jonny Marray WR 143 vs (2) Michal Mertinak & Igor Zelenay (SVK/SVK) WR 147
Not much to choose between 'em...

They left it very late, going 0-4 down at the start of the CTB & trailing for most of it, surviving MPs & nicking it at the very end!

Jonny & Dustin take the first-set tie-break by 7-2.
Oh no! The second seeds get an early break in the second set: 1-2*.
Second set down the pan by 2-6. Squeaky bum time!
