Nothing on Sky Sports at all. Pathetic.

 That's because EuroSport got the TV contract - a mention in the news is about all Sky will do

Great result for Jamie and Bruno!

Tour Finals site also showing Lopez/Lopez as qualified - presumably because of their French win they cant fall out of the Top 20 pairs ( I think that is the rule?) now?

From the ATP Rule Book

Selection List. The selection list for the event shall be:
a) The top 7 teams in the 2016 Emirates ATP Doubles Team Rankings as of
the Monday after the last ATP World Tour tournament of the calendar year;
followed by
b) Up to two (2) Grand Slam winners of that year, in order of their positions, positioned
between eight (8) and twenty (20) in the 2016 Emirates ATP Doubles
Team Rankings as of that Monday; followed by
c) Teams positioned eight (8) and below in the 2016 Emirates ATP Doubles
Team Rankings as of that Monday

So, yes, Lopez and Lopez qualify presumably because they have enough points that they can't fall out of the top 20, they've won a GS, and the other GS winners are already qualified.

British men doubles and women doubles GS victories in the open era:

 

Virginia Wade 4

Ann Jones 2 *

Jamie Murray 2

Roger Taylor 2

Jonnie Marray 1

 

(*) also won1  pre-open era

Got to be a pretty good chance of Jamie equalling or bettering Virginia Wade's total.

Thanks for that Sim; another 2 GS wins next year would do it :)
