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.
