Thanks for the scores GC77. Come on Aucks/Huss. Looks like they took a few games to settle into the conditions and each other's style of play etc. Amazing comeback after that in the first set though. Hopefully they can take this final set.

Any ideas how it works in doubles? Is there a third set tiebreaker or do they play until someone wins?
