Well – it can’t get much closer than that!
The margin was razor-thin, but Australians Marc Polmans and Jason Kubler have dropped the first set of their men’s doubles final to the sixth-seeded partnership of Christian Harrison and Neal Skupski, 7-6 (7-4).

Earlier, Polmans and Kubler managed to break their opponents’ serve and hold their own service game – prompting the Australian crowd to rise to their feet and break out into a series of “Aussie, Aussie, Aussie” chants.
The set then progressed to a tie-breaker, where the scores remained level until the British and American duo scored a mini-break that carried them right to a set point.
A great effort from the Aussies, but not quite enough to pull them over the line. They’ll be hoping for a fresh start in the second set.
