The favorites missed a set ball in the first match which took its toll, as the sleeve had to be decided in a ‘tie-break’ where they dropped three serves.
They tried to react in the second, but Ram and Selisbury didn’t let their chance pass and quickly, taking advantage of their rivals’ slump, broke their serve in the first game, more than enough to seal the match.
The Anglo-American duo is already waiting for their opponent in the final, which will appear in the rivalry of the Croatian Nicola Mektic and Mate Pavic against the pair formed by the English Lean Glasspool and the Finn Harri Heliovaara.
