Wesley Koolhof and Neal Skupski captured their first tour-level title of the season together on Saturday at the Libema Open, where they defeated Gonzalo Escobar and Aleksandr Nedovyesov 7-6(1), 6-2.
The top seeds clinched seven tour-level trophies in 2022, but were made to wait for further title success this year, losing finals in Indian Wells and Barcelona.
However, they returned to the winners’ circle once again with a dominant display in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, not facing a break point in the championship match to triumph after 84 minutes.
Koolhof and Skupski have consolidated second place in the Pepperstone ATP Live Doubles Team Rankings with victory at the ATP 250 grass-court event. They will also return to joint No. 1 in the Pepperstone ATP Doubles Rankings on Monday.
