De Miñaur d. Ruud in straights to defend his title.

Shame for Neal and Santiago, but it looks like the partnership is starting to work better, so that's a definite positive.

3 and 2 is quite a caning in mens doubles at this level, so disappointing end to the week. Still, theyve gone 8th in the race and two big hard court events coming up.

Oh yes, I appreciate the score in this final was Not Good, but they were losing in much earlier rounds in the first couple of months of the year, so making a second final (and this one at a higher level) in the last few weeks still feels like progress in the partnership. smile
