Cabral/Miedler capture Hangzhou doubles title
Francisco Cabral and Lucas Miedler captured their second title of the season on Tuesday at the Lynk & Co Hangzhou Open.
The top seeds moved past Nicolas Barrientos and David Pel 6-4, 6-4 in the championship match, during which they saved the only break point they faced, according to Infosys ATP Stats. With their victory, Cabral and Miedler improved to 22-11 as a team after making their debut in Marrakech in April this year.
“Thanks for another great week. We’ve been doing great things,” Cabral said to his team. “I’m very, very happy about our second title, and there are still a few tournaments to go until the end of the year, so we’re just happy to get the chance to play again in Tokyo next week.”
By claiming his fourth tour-level title, Cabral tied Joao Sousa (4 in singles) for most ATP Tour trophies by a Portuguese man in the Open Era. Cabral and Miedler are up three spots to No. 13 in the PIF ATP Live Doubles Teams Rankings.

After making their team debut in Gstaad in July, the German-Dutch duo is now 8-3 at tour-level. They saved two match points in their first-round clash against Rohan Bopanna and Takeru Yuzuki before sealing their championship-match victory in 78 minutes.
“Thank you Robin for playing with me, for picking up the phone two weeks ago,” Frantzen, who captured his first tour-level title, said to Haase. “I’m very happy that I called you. It’s my first title and I’m very happy to do it here in Chengdu.”
The 38-year-old Haase, now a 10-time ATP Tour doubles champion, is the second-oldest Chengdu champion after 40-year-old Jonathan Erlich in 2017.
