Klaasen/Venus Save 2 M.P. To Reach Title Match At Nitto ATP Finals

Raven Klaasen and Michael Venus saved two match points on Saturday afternoon for a place in the doubles title match at the Nitto ATP Finals.

The fifth-seeded South African-Kiwi team scraped through against top-seeded Colombians Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah 6-7(5), 7-6(10), 10-6 in two hours and nine minutes at The O2 in London. They recovered from 0/4 in the second-set tie-break and saved match points at 6/7 and 8/9.

Klaasen and Venus, who went 2-1 to win Group Jonas Bjorkman round-robin play, will now prepare to meet last year’s runners up Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut, the seventh-seeded French team, or second-seeded Pole Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo of Brazil.
