It's a pity that he lost such a long competitive match. But, having won that 2nd set TB and apparently having no BPs in the third set ( with Berrettini taking 1 of his 2 ) I'm not sure that I'd describe it as an opportunity gone begging.
Overall, looks a couple of decent matches this week with one good looking win.

I was thinking after the first set, he had a point to go 5-1 up in that set, shouldnt really have lost it from there. I think that was the big missed opportunity for him!
QF: (4) Joe Salisbury & Neal Skupski CR 21 (12+9) vs Francisco Cabral & Lucas Miedler (POR/AUT) CR 56 (27+29)
QF: (WC) Alexander Erler & Robert Galloway (AUT/USA) CR 79 (38+41) vs (3) Harri Heliövaara (FIN) & Henry Patten CR 10 (5+5) QF: (LL) Fernando Romboli & John-Patrick Smith (BRA/AUS) CR 91 (42+49) vs (2) Julian Cash & Lloyd Glasspool CR 5 (4+1)
Got to hope all 3 pairs with Brits in can get through the last 8 matches tomorrow. Pavic and Arevalo are, of course, in the other one at the top of the draw.
Harri & Henry winning that match, going on to win the title, then win the Paris Masters, then win the Tour Finals undefeated would make life rather interesting by close of play in the race this season
Doing some quick calculations, if Lloyd & Julian were RU in both Paris and Turin they'd remain ahead but not with that much to spare.
Well, Julian and Lloyd got it done, 10-5 in the MTB, and hold on well to their security on top spot.
These two pairs are v close, but J and L seem to just have the edge. Paris and Turin will be fascinating, with Arevalo/Pavic, Granollers/Zeballos and Joe and Neal thrown in, plus the other 3 pairs qualifying over the next two weeks.
