Strong Challenger - two good wins. Well done to the Skupskis. Teams thus far could be 250 level teams (yes, I know the rankings on the first team were lower - but they're both actually well capable of more). SF opponents are a bit of a joke to be facing in a Challenger - but the Skupskis are clearly playing well, so hoping for a repeat (or better) of last year. Good luck to them!

 This is what happens shortly after all the ATP 250 tournaments are finished for the season, the draw fills up with strong players aiming to gain or to secure Australian Open spots for themselves.

Ken & Neal were runners-up here last year.

Have now defended their last 2015 ranking points in style. The only way is up for what remains of 2016. Winning the final would be a very good starter.

That's a truly wonderful win, against two of the best doubles players of the past decade. Well done! Upwards and onwards!
