Minor detail, David and Joe's current rankings are WR 265 and WR 279 respectively ( CR 524 ). Last week's rankings appear to have been carried through the thread for them, and a futures title from last November dropped off for the latest rankings.
But challenger titles certainly beat futures ones! And I make it that the 80 points for this title should take Joe up to a doubles CH of around WR 220.

I think I probably forgot to update the rankings after Monday.
It's worth noting that the article about Mr Salisbury and Mr O'Hare mentions the fact that their university coach was with them all week, and that he worked with them on specific things throughout the week, especially prior to the final. Mr Salisbury certainly seems to feel this made a difference. Emphasises the importance of coaching - which generally speaking the lower-level players don't have. And makes you wonder where some of our pairings would be if they did (especially if the coaches were as helpful as this one seems to have been!)
