Luke and partner have beaten two solid looking pairs in raonic/berankis and chardy/martin. Think it's a 50 50 match but fancy Luke and Gonzalez to win.

Sadly a first set drubbing to Luke and partner, 6-2
Final: (3) Rohan Bopanna & Wesley Koolhof (IND/NED) CR 60 (42+18) defeated Luke Bambridge & Santiago González (MEX) CR 100 (51+49) by 3-6 6-2 [10-6]
I had high hopes after that first set.
Darn, but they should be 2nd in the first weeks race, so a good start for Luke, onwards and upwards. Sadly only a 2 place ranking rise to 49 this week for him at best.
