Not to be for Dimi as Djoko won in 2 sets. Gonzalez and ERV won the doubles title - why exactly are the splitting up!?

Who are they due to play with next year?

Ah interesting. Am almost certain they will be repartnering for the Olympics. There aren't many all countrymen pairings at the top of the game, so let's see if any others pair up.

Presumably Mektic and Pavic will return to defend their title even though they've split.

Neal in his express interview said hes got a few partners in mind but all have partners, so hed need to split up another pair.

He also clearly blames Wes as instigating it out of the blue and says , although he knows the reasons, Wes should explain, he also says theyll remain friends.

A reminded of how brutal some of the doubles break-ups can be when only one of the players wants to split. And tough so late in the season.

Be good if he could maybe steal Krajicek from an ageing Dodig.

Dodig's a mere child of 38 compared with some of the other Top 10ers.
