Lloyd's a for the second week in a row, but with a different partner from last weekend:

Final: (4) Lloyd Glasspool & Matt Reid (AUS) CR 206 (104+102) defeated Denys Molchanov & Sergiy Stakhovsky (UKR/UKR) CR 275 (94+181) by 3 & 4

Titles coming like London buses for Lloyd.

Well done Lloyd !

Bob in Spain · Tennis legend

He really is on a roll at the moment.

indiana · Tennis legend

Since the start of October Lloyd has appeared in 10 doubles finals in 15 tournaments, including now winning 3 titles.

He would no doubt already be top 100 if the rankings didn't include all these 2019 and early 2020 points.

So next week in Lille. Its Harri partnering with Matt Reid. The fun of double partnerships...
I guess as its not easy to go home, due to restrictions, for a rest and you need a tournament to keep the costs down maybe Harri and Lloyd decided theyd take a week off each and found a partner for both.

I see that Harri withdrew from Lille due to "medical".

He tested positive for corona, it's on his blog. He was negative for a couple of tests afterwards, so may have been a false positive.

Seppi will play a LL, possibly Jack Sock if he signs in tomorrow.
Draw sheet confirming that it will be Jack Sock.

madness that Jack Sock has gone from being a masters winner and tour finalist to playing challengers.

I think nowadays we are supposed to call it "mental health", not madness.
