Gonzalez/Molteni Clinch Barcelona Crown
Maximo Gonzalez and Andres Molteni continued their impressive season on Sunday when they captured their third tour-level title of the year as qualifiers at the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell.
In a tight clash, the Argentines recovered from squandering one championship point in the second to eventually defeat top seeds Wesley Koolhof and Neal Skupski 6-3, 6-7(8), 10-4.
Gonzalez and Molteni won 80 per cent (37/46) of their first-service points and raced clear in the Match Tie-break to earn their 20th tour-level win together in 2023 in one hour and 52 minutes.
