In the end all 4 QFs went to MTBs though in the final one it was Gille & Vliegen who came through to stop the SF being made up of the top 4 seeds. SF: (3) Rajeev Ram (USA) & Joe Salisbury CR 19 (10+9) vs Sander Gille (BEL) & Joran Vliegen (BEL) CR 69 (35+34)

Darn. I was hoping that Tsitsipas would put more race pressure on Djokovic.

Good stuff though the Croats are a wee bit ahead in the race!
1. Mektic & Pavic 8605
2. Ram & Salisbury 4215
3. Herbert & Mahut 3730
So the 400 point swing in the final will leave them either 3990 or 4790 ahead.
Final: (3) Rajeev Ram (USA) & Joe Salisbury CR 19 (10+9) defeated (1) Nikola Mektic & Mate Pavic (CRO/CR) CR 3 (2+1) by 6-3 4-6 [10-3]
