These two have turned into a pretty solid pairing. Hope for continued success to end the year and can stick together and push on next year. Two of the biggest servers out there.

 Totally. Nice for Dom to have a relatively consistent partnership throughout the year.

Yes indeed, hope they can stick together.

And with their own improved rankings combining with the 24 pair Masters draws extending to 32 next year, keep up their rankings and they look likely to be able to get into most / possibly all Masters doubles draws next year, rather than frozen out as Dom found so often this year.

O2 2019 ?

Talking of O2. I had wondered why Mike Bryan and Jack Sock weren't playing this week or last or indeed in Paris.

It appears that bob Bryan may still possibly be fit to play London. The ATP have left it to 5th Nov to finalise who Mike will partner. At the moment Mike and Bob have more points than Mike and sock and therefore are higher in pecking order. If Sock and Mike had played these last few events, they would be higher and expected to play. But leaving bob as  higher than Sock allows them to leave it open. I am guessing at that situation and presumably it is a slim chance and thus jack Sock relaxed about it?

 Correct and the pairing was by chance as Dom's regular partner Marcus Daniel was out for quite a while.

Into the final:

SF:  Dominic Inglot & Franko Skugor (CRO) CR 56 (24+32) defeated Julio Peralta & Horacio Zeballos (CHI/ARG) CR 69 (40+29) by 5-7 6-3 [10-6]  smile

There they'll face Sharan & Sitak or the Zverev brothers, neither pair seeded.
