Think halys/mahut play cash/galloway in bordeaux. heliovaara & Patten play "hopefully" skupski/mies here.

Surely that should be a smiley face? A British winner guaranteed? I think I dont get the blue sad/angry/ fed up (??) face this time around !

Er no, none of those. hmm = hmm, so (in my mind) also = divided loyalties.

Similar to Julian, although Henry has two titles in 2024, only one of those is bigger than this, in Marrakech at the 250 event. This would be a big title for Henry for sure;

For Neal, hes gone through a lean patch, its almost 12 months since his last title (at Wimbledon) and so would help his confidence no end.

Not sure if Mies is his intended partner for France and for grass, but it helps to get their embryonic partnership off with a win.

Whichever pair wins, Henry or Neal will regard today as an important match for themselves.

Henry & Harri s! biggrin

Final: Harri Heliövaara (FIN) & Henry Patten CR 95 (39+56) defeated (1) Andreas Mies (GER) & Neal Skupski CR 54 (44+10) by 3 & 3 smile cry

So the two former doubles partners triumph with different partners at different venues on the same day within an hour or so of each other! wink Shame that it had to be at Neal's expense...

Was slightly confused at this post but just realise you inverted the score.

A good doubles week overall but no British pairs higher than 15th in the race currently. Has been a strange year.

Great stuff well done Henry and Harri!

Tanaqui · Club Coach

Really pleased to see the partnership between Henry and Harri is continuining to be successful. Well done to them!

But sad to see Neal struggling to find a new high-quality partner he really clicks with. Let's hope that gets sorted out soon!

I notice that Harri goes above Lloyd in the rankings.
