Before the final the two pairs had only dropped one set between them - so something had to give. The crowded Dedans were treated to an astonished display of powerful drives and adroit defensive volleys. Harry returned serve with devastating efficiency and Alistair intercepted shot after shot. But ultimately Jamie's speed and anticipation, with the strength of Peter's forehand volley, wore down their talented opponents.
