Thompson also beat Andy at Queens a few years back.

Draw sheet shows lower back problem for Henry. Fingers crossed that it isn't serious.

Those big young power players really are Kryptonite for Dan...
Darn. Maybe some of the GB women at Surbiton can pass on some advice to Dan

Julian & Henry have now withdrawn from Stuttgart (as have Joe & Rajeev). I sincerely hope that that doesn't mean that Henry's back problem is not so serious that it will prevent the boys participation here or at Wimbledon.

Julian is now playing Nottingham next week partnering Luke.

And they are seeded. JoMo and Jake Fearnley and Toby Samuel and Conor Thomson also have wildcards

Liam & Jonny s:

Final: Liam Broady & Jonny O'Mara CR 1219 (1100+119) defeated Alexei Popyrin & Aleksandar Vukic (AUS/AUS) CR 1355 (459+896) by 6-4 5-7 [10-8]

That was closer than it should have been. They served for it at 5-2 in the second & again at 5-4.

Well done lads, good title to win. Now for Andy later!

Pleased for Liam after disappointment in the singles.

First Doubles challenger title for Liam in his 4th final. For some reason I thought hed won one. But this appears to be his maiden doubles title at this level.
