R1: Ken Skupski & Neal Skupski CR 202 (106+108) beat (1) Jonny Marray & Mate Pavic (CRO) CR 105 (51+54) 6-7(2) 7-6(4) [10-3]

QF: Ken Skupski & Neal Skupski CR 202 (106+108) beat Norbert Gombos & Adam Pavlasek (SVK/CZE) CR 690 (300+390) by walkover

I'm pleased Ken & Neal won that, they need the points much more than Jonny. And with that win they win two rounds!

Excellent result for Ken & Neal, but I can't help feeling sorry for Jonny.  The draw is now wide open, there being not a single seeded pair left in it, though I'd say the pesky Poles, Fyrstenberg & Przysiezny, despite their lowly combined ranking (643), are dangerous floaters, though thankfully, they're in the bottom half of the draw.

Another day, another win. This is becoming delightfully monotonous as the Skuppers win 6-2 7-6(5)

One more win should see them seal their Top 100 spot for the year end.

The boys are very consistent at the moment. They keep getting to semi finals and finals. Need to start winning them now.

Hope I'm not jinxing their chances when I say I have high hopes of this one.

Final:  Ken Skupski & Neal Skupski CR 202 (106+108) vs Ilija Bozaljac & Igor Zelenay (SRB/SVK) CR 237 (147+90)

That said, they put out my "dangerous floaters, the Pesky Poles, by 4 & 2 in their semi...

Not a chance, Stircrazy. (I don't really believe this, but it's my way of counteracting any potential jinx ....)

Really is great to see the team having such a strong second half of the year.

Ken & Neal redress the balance by taking the second set by 6-4.  Only the CTB stands between them & the title...
