Thanks very much SC for bringing the doubles story up to date including the impressive progress of Max and James, in particular beating the top seeds in the QF.
Pity they lost out in the SF, having been 5-3* up in the MTB before losing 5 points in a row.
Is there any site which has decent career stats for challengers on percentage of return and serve points won? It'll be interesting to see where he is on lists because every match he has just seems to be nowhere near serve dominated.

This data must surely exist. The issue is probably that so few people have any interest, apart from tennis nerds such as our good selves.
Over in Shanghai, Vacherin will serve for the match...
