Colette Lewis at @zootennis has done an extensive interview with Dom and Treat:

After a break of a couple of days while the rest of the draw caught up, Dom & Denis will play Aslan Karatsev and our old friend Dmitry Tursunov in the SFs tomorrow.

Thanks for that link. Great interview - come across as a good team and very candid, sensible people. Pretty strong advertisement for university tennis, too.

That was very funny - Dom was sent way out wide and had little option but to lob one up for what looked like a routine smash but Tursunov put it waaay long. The next ball off his racket went even wilder and higher wink

Anyway, Dom makes his 6th ATP final (his first without Treat), though he is 1-4 in the previous 5 and the top seeds won't be easy to beat in the Final here.

Didn't get to see any of it but not to be unfortunately, Dom and Denis lost in the final 76 63.

Hopefully he can have another good week with Treat. Where will this run take him in the rankings?

150 points minus 25 for his last countable which will be taken off will see rise 0 places based on the points needed to rise in this weeks rankings.
