Purav Raja GOATing and you've got to respect Leander Paes grinding it out in challengers, at 44, in an effort to improve his ranking.

QF: (1) Leander Paes & Purav Raja (IND/IND) CR 132 (70+62) beat Liam Broady & Marcus Willis CR 830 (606+224) 7-5 6-0

SF: (1) Leander Paes & Purav Raja (IND/IND) CR 132 (70+62) vs (3) Ruan Roelofse (RSA) & Joe Salisbury CR 251 (149+102)

Looks as if Marcus will still have taken out his CH 221 from 2014.

Of course many would say that he could / should have been ranked a fair bit higher long ago, as also with his singles CH 322. But it is Marcus and he goes his own way about things.

No shame in losing to two excellent pairs, especially Paes/Raja. I must admit that I've not been a particular fan of Leander Paes - didn't really like all the things that went on around Olympics selections, etc. But as was said above, you have to admire an all-time great who is prepared to play Challengers if that's what he needs to do.
