Well, well, well! Watch out Ken & Neal!

Final: (WC) Gianluigi Quinzi & Adelchi Virgili (ITA/ITA) UNR vs (4) Ken Skupski & Neal Skupski CR 405

The youngsters saw off the first seeds by 6-3 3-6 [10-8]! disbelief

Never in doubt! The Brit bruvs tame the Italian tyros to become the fifth Team GB title-s of the week & claim their maiden Challenger title together :

Final: (4) Ken Skupski & Neal Skupski CR 405 defeated (WC) Gianluigi Quinzi & Adelchi Virgili (ITA/ITA) UNR by 4 & 2 biggrin

That should take Neal up to around 250 - pretty impressive given that he was unranked at the start of the year with a career high of 751!

I assume the Skupski's will be playing together regularly now unless Neal's ranking holds Ken back in the masters and grand slams?

Not yet it would seem. Ken is playing in Atlanta next week, partnering Rajeev Ram.

Neal in Ireland?

Neal's playing County Week, by the sounds of it. Pity.
