That was tight - not many chances. Well done Joe and Neal, only break and think they deserved it on balance.

Great season for Julian and Lloyd.

Look forward to a great final between Joe/Neal and Henry / Harri, in a rematch of their group game.

Well done to Joe & Neal. Their first win of the year vs Julian & Lloyd after 3 defeats ( Doha, Eastbourne and Canada Masters ).

It seems crazy to think Joe and Neal are splitting

www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/articles/c1j8445g093o

Two slam finals and now a tour finals, maybe a title.

Hard to know what more they think a different partner would add?

They both seem to get on very well on court and I believe off court, as well.

Neal is partnering with Christian Harrison, who is a close friend, and who, of course, also made it to the year-end finals.

 Absolutely, was aware of Neal and Harrison - Laura had been talking about it and Harri also. 

 

Harri Said hes going to let Joe tell his partner, but clearly is aware

Not able to watch but it looks like its all on serve. Which feels like it favours Joe and Neals type of game. Similar to their semi

First set Harri and Henry, 7-5, broke at the end.

Harri and Neal had 3 previous break points prior to that last game. And them broke. Seem to have the edge, for sure.

And 37-25 in total points. Seems like their form from yesterday continues.

Laura said Joe is taking a much needed break away from the tour, which presumably is the reason they're going their separate ways for now.
