I'm pretty sure Ken has never made a SF in a 500 before, never mind win one.

Neal won Vienna 500 in 2018 with Joe Salisbury.

Have they ever won an ATP500 before ?  I know they have won 250s, but I don't think they have ever taken a 500 title.

 According to Steven , no. and Neal only won a 250 with Jamie.

 *and* that 250 title was a w/o or something.

Only Kens 7th ATP 500 level tournament from what I can see. Only two before with Neal where they didnt make it past qualifying. A 3rd final for Neal after a title with Joe as Wolf mentioned and reaching the final of Vienna again last year with Jamie.

Annoyingly with there expected new rankings come Monday they would have been able to enter Miami together with that ranking.

Just buzzing with this result. Fully vindicates their decision to team up again and with no disrespect to Jamie, I am sure that for Neal, winning a 500 with Ken will mean a whole lot more than his other tournament victory.
