British duo claim ATP success
TENNIS: British duo Colin Fleming and Ken Skupski continued their rapid rise up the ATP doubles rankings after claiming their second World Tour title yesterday.
The duo fought back from a set down to beat French pair Richard Gasquet and Jeremy Chardy 2-6, 7-5, 10-4 in the final of the St Petersburg Open.
Victory adds to their debut success in Metz back in September and sees them close in on the top 50 in the rankings.
Scot Fleming and Liverpudlian Skupski are now expected to be drafted in to represent Great Britain in their Davis Cup tie against Lithuania in March.
