Rajiv Ram, Joe Salisbury, Pierre Hughes Herbert and Nicholas Mahut win the first round of the ATP Finals. By joining Wednesday’s match, both duos got a chance to secure their promotion to the semi-finals. In the end, the American and Briton won 6:7 (7), 6:0, 13-11, but – with a set loss – they were not promoted to the semi-finals.

There were breakouts in the first set, and that was the tiebreak in which Roland Garros champion Herbert and Mahut defended two of the group’s icons and won 9-7. In the second match, it was Ram and Salisbury, the winners of the US Open, who dominated the events of the field and did not concede to the French even in the match.

The level of excitement and the quality of the game reached the highest level in the decisive tie-breaker. In it, Ram and Salisbury were leading 7-4, but wasted the advantage. However, they fought hard, as a result of which they defended two identical balls and made them 10-10. Then they won the match themselves, but the Briton made a double serve fault.
