A strong win for the lads there and a v winnable final I feel; Cuevas lesser is the weak link here and they should be able to exploit that

 If it was singles maybe. Weak links dont really apply in Doubles as the margins are a lot smaller.

As the result shows.

 One could say, if there were any weak links, that this was one of them:

Mike Cation @MikeCTennis

What a stretch. From 40-0, O'Mara throws in two doubles, an audible obscenity, originally a warning, then the chair realizes its a point penalty because of an earlier warning, and suddenly its BP....which is saved after some lights out play from Bam/O'Mara. 6-5 in the first.

Mike ran out of characters otherwise he could have added in that the umpire was out of his chair twice in that game to check marks, one of which lead to an overrule where a serve was called out when Luke/Jonny won the point but it had to be replayed.
