Lloyd Glasspool and Harri Heliovaara defeat Marcelo Arevalo and Jean-Julien Rojer on their Nitto ATP Finals debut Sunday.
British-Finnish pair open with straight-sets victory in Red Group
Lloyd Glasspool and Harri Heliovaara tasted victory on Sunday at the Nitto ATP Finals, where the sixth seeds opened their debut campaign at the season finale with a 7-5, 7-6(3) triumph against Marcelo Arevalo and Jean-Julien Rojer.
The British-Finnish pair produced a high-class serving performance to seal a 91-minute victory at the Pala Alpitour in Turin, firing 11 aces and winning 83 per cent (39/47) of points behind first serve against the reigning Roland Garros champions.
Glasspool and Heliovaara’s win avenged their straight-sets defeats to Arevalo and Rojer in both the Dallas and Stockholm finals this season. Despite those disappointments, the sixth seeds have enjoyed a consistent year on Tour, highlighted by winning their maiden ATP 500 title in Hamburg in July.
