Kudos to Stan Wawrinka on beating Rublev and reaching the semis here- 39 years young.

Well done Henry and Harri, phew. Theyve won Casablanca and Lyon this season, as well as Wimbledon. And got to the final in Beijing just the other weekend, last week in September.

Hard to see them not qualifying for Turin, but seems it not yet a done deal.

Yes, it would be a very surprising set of circumstances for them not to qualify. Both Bopanna/Ebden and Henry/Harri would have to be outside the Top 7 with Bopanna/Ebden ahead for Henri/Harri not to get the Grand Slam champions spot.

It's fourth title in fact. And six if you include Challengers. Even with a few ups and downs, a great year.

Jon, you mentioned it upthread! biggrin Although you said it was Casablanca (which I think is a challenger) and it appears to actually be Marrakech. Edited to add: At main tour level. They won challengers in Madrid and Turin.
