Good win that for Ken & Neal must have been a bit sweater for Neal having been 'dumped' by Jamie at the end of last season.

Anyone know if Joe and Rajeev have ever played the Skupski's as a pair?

I was going to say that the win must feel especially sweet for Neal, but in truth I don't believe he thinks that way. It would have been just another match for them.

live-tennis showing Neal up to a CH 25 and Ken to 51. Would be 23 and 47 respectively if they were to win the final.

I like that and have to say wanted that
Outcome.

I recall saying at season start after hearing the Soto tennis podcast with Neal and Ken that I was excited for them but the season hadnt yet sparked for them. It has now!

 And placed them 13th in the Race with a chance of 5th should they win.

No disrespect to either Jamie or Joe, but I am loving these results this week.

Have they ever won an ATP500 before ?  I know they have won 250s, but I don't think they have ever taken a 500 title.
