Men’s doubles: decided in the semi-finals

Men’s doubles was decided in the semi-finals.

Mitchell Hargreaves and Joey Wild were the only pair to come through two three-game matches and still arrive with control intact.

They opened with a three-game win over Brian Tran and Daiki Tanabe, losing the first before settling the match. In the semi-final, they followed the same pattern, dropping the opening game to Harrison Brown and Daniel Fogl-Kulich before adjusting and closing in three.

On the other side, Zachary Grabovic and Lucas Pascoe also had to recover, losing the first game to Jose Farias and Jason Taylor before edging the second and taking the decider.

Both pairs arrived tested.

The final reflected that difference.

Hargreaves and Wild beat Grabovic and Pascoe 11-5, 11-9, controlling both games and never allowing the match to drift. They did not need to recover again.

They had already absorbed that pressure earlier in the day.
