The Libyan lost to Kerry “Challenger” in the final of the doubles competition

The Libyan and Australian Edam Walton, who were not among the seeded duos, lost 3-6, 6-7 (4-7) to the first-seeded Americans Evan King and Rhys Stadler.

By reaching the final, the Latvian tennis player earned 50 world ranking points and will reach a new career record in the doubles ranking, climbing to the 146th position. At the end of August, the Libyan will have to start defending the doubles ranking points that he started to accumulate after returning to professional tennis.

In July, the Libyan won two “Challenger” titles in tournaments in the USA and Canada, rising to the record-high 158th position in the doubles ranking. The Latvian has won four “Challenger” tournaments.
