Second seeds Oliver Marach & Mate Pavic have progressed to the doubles final of the Qatar ExxonMobil Open after defeating the Spanish duo Pablo Carreno Busta & Guillermo Garcia-Lopez. The experienced duo proved too much for the unseeded pair, defeating them in straight sets 6-3, 6-4.
Manach & Pavic will now progress to the final to take on the number 1 seeds Jamie Murray & Bruno Soares who defeated the third seeds, Feliciano Lopez & Rajeev Ram. Murray & Soares who won three doubles titles on the ATP circuit in 2017 won the first set 6-3.
Lopez & Ram battled back in the second winning 6-4 to set up a tense championship tiebreak. Murray & Soares held their nerve and ran out 10-6 winners, setting up a final on Friday against the second seeds in the process.
