Glad Robin was able to bounce back from his defeat by Aljaz to partner Dom to success!

Head to head is 2-0 to Aljaz, it seems he is a bad omen for Ivo.

2016 Acapulco 6-4 1-2 retired

2011 Vienna 7-6(4) 0-0 retired

Hope the tournament doctor is ready!

Dom & Robin 7-6(5) 3-2* up against the top seeds.

Aljaz has the day off before a Friday meeting with Ivo.

Maybe. But his friendship with Mate Pavic from Morocco won't last very long after this result.

smile I think the partnership with Pavic was just a stopgap. I'm pretty sure I heard one of the commentators say ng the DC doubles match that he was going to be linking up with Haase.

Dom's recent forays into doubles tinder have happily provided very successful matchups.

Think you might have the wrong end of the stick SC, the reference is to doubles 'tinder', Tinder being the dating / hook-up app that's based on the premise of very quickly choosing 'partners' based on a picture or two and a tiny bio.
