Very good win! Just shows how important the right partner is. Not the most difficult draw and only time will tell but a great start to a partnership. Am I right in thinking that's Henry's 2nd ever atp tour final?

I believe so: he & Julian lost to Max Purcell & Jordan Thompson in three sets on clay in Houston a year ago today (give or take day).

Henry obviously likes clay then! Hope they might get a shot at Rome (probably not Madrid?) and Paris?

Oh, wonderful to see Harri and Henry's partnership continuing to deliver results. Let's hope they can carry it through to the final and for Henry to get his first title at this level.

We seem to read a lot of Dan playing a really good match but losing. Ive not seen him at all as dont have access to any channels showing tennis - my tennis following is sadly just looking at scoreboards and reading reports, the odd highlights reel on the atp - so is he really playing well, and why is he losing consistently and for some time? Hes my favourite player, so its not a dig. Has he lost something in his game the past 6 months or more?

I think a lot of his matches are fights as his physicality cant overcome a lot of players

Hes got so much potentia!
