Final tomorrow at 11 am BST. Putting aside it being a Thursday morning for a slam final, chance to see a Brit in action at a slam final , joe slowly racking them up.

If Joe & Desirae win the title tomorrow, it will be the first time since "Legs" & "Rabbit" triumphed in 1982 that a Brit has had a hand in claiming the mixed title in Paris!

Which is "a UK charity with an aim to improve facilities, get more people playing and promote the benefits tennis has on ones mental health".
