It was touch & go in the second set (Emile & Josh went match point down at 4-5) & in the MTB until the business end!

Emile + lost in the final, in straight sets.

If it is the same Marcus Daniell, then he spent most of his career in the doubles top 100 and won bronze at the Olympics with Michael Venus. He retired in 2022 and is 34 now.

the itf has two profiles , one of the above player, the other a 34 year old playing his first event, so I think they are actually the same person.

in which case, Emile and partner where always going to be up against it in this final!

Given the quality of one half of the opposition (my comment after Emile's & Josh's semi refers), I'm not really surprised by that result. hmm
