I see this will be the last Sydney event, at least for a year, as well as Brisbane last week

www.atptour.com/en/news/atp-cup-confirms-sydney-and-brisbane-as-hosts-for-2020

Presumably the ladies events both continue and Perth will be the 3rd venue (to replace the Hopman Cup) in due course.

 

It seems to be 3 venues in week 1, then finals in Sydney in week 2. I wonder what that means for Doha and Pune? Presumably ATP wont want a clash week 1 and will offer up Auckland as an ongoing option for those not in ATP Cup in week 2. But surprised if Doha could go against ATP Cup, so presume they will go for a later week, maybe back to back with Dubai after the AO? And Pune will close down or become just a Challenger?

 Well, there's this tweet which may answer one question: https://twitter.com/TennisPublisher/status/1082334915453222912

AO starts week of 20th Jan next year, season starts on the 6th (apparently).

Ok, so Sydney survives as well as the ATP cup finals in Sydney. Brisbane does disappear and Hopman also goes.

L16: Matt Ebden & Robert Lindstedt (AUS/SWE) CR 158 (111+47) vs (ALT) Luke Bambridge & Jonny O'Mara CR 106 (51+55)

Good decision from them to hang around as alts instead of going to a challenger. They are 3rd on tonight, with Jamie underway.

L16: Jamie Murray & Bruno Soares (BRA) CR 14 (7+7) beat Santiago Gonzalez & Aisam Ul-Haq Qureshi (MEX/PAK) CR 100 (52+48) 6-4 6-4

It was an entertaing match and a good performance from the guys.

Ebden and Lindstedt are an interesting proposition, lots of experience and hometown support, watch out for them in the Aussie Open (they are playing together there I think also)

Neal and Ken and Jamie and Bruno both won, Joe lost his first match however.

Nonetheless, two semifinalists is a decent week so far.
