great win. Puts them 290 points clear of 8th place, and up to 6th although Rojer and Tecau are still to play their QF. . Got to be feeling confident now. Another win here would be great!

JJR & Tecau won their QF. And another win for Joe (& Rajeev) looks a bit of a tall order:

Final: (1) Lukasz Kubot & Marcelo Melo (POL/BRA) CR 13 (6+7) vs (4) Rajeev Ram (USA) & Joe Salisbury CR 43 (16+27)

However, a win would see joe and rajeev effectively home and dry so would be a great one to win.

Joe & Rajeev up *4-3 on Amazon Prime after a bit of a delay.

Joe Salisbury just came up with a sensational hotdog winner.

Jaffa · Challenger level

Joe has just hit without a doubt the shot of the year. Absolutely amazing. 5 yards behind the baseline outside the tramlines hits a Tweener through his legs. Sure that will go about social media very soon. Speechless.

flamingowings · All-time great

Joe's amazing shot as mentioned above:

It's been the highlight of an otherwise poor match but Joe & Rajeev lead 6-4 *4-5

Joe & Rajeev are s!

Final: (4) Rajeev Ram (USA) & Joe Salisbury CR 43 (16+27) defeated (1) Lukasz Kubot & Marcelo Melo (POL/BRA) CR 13 (6+7) by 6-4 6-7(5) [10-5] biggrin

Their second ATP 500 title together, if I'm not much mistaken.

Outrageous! biggrin

Joe defends his title, Rajeev debuts in the top 10 and it pretty much seals their spot at the O2. Good day.

I'd completely forgotten that he won it last year with Neal!

Hopefully Rajeev can defend his title in Paris next week!

Great win, according to live rankings , rojer and tecau qualify in the 6th spot, joe and rajeev are just 15 points short of the qualifying line. As the Bryan's arent playing Paris, they become the target to overtake for the others.

By my calculations for Joe & Rajeev not to make the O2 Dodig & Polasek would have to beat Kontinen & Peers in the Paris final as well as Joe & Rajeev losing first or second round.
