Lloyd Glasspool & Henry Patten entered the ATP 250 event and were the third seeds. In the first round the Brits drew Anirudh Chandrasekar & Vijay Sundar Prashanth. Glasspool & Patten dominated the first set as the Indians struggled to stay with the seeds. The second set saw the Indians re-group. Chandrasekar & Prashanth broke the serve of the seeds and levelled up the match. The ensuing match tiebreak saw the seeds edge through and take the win 6-2, 3-6, 10-7.
The quarter-final had the seeds against Alexander Bublik & Alexander Shevchenko. The Kazakhs were unable to take to the court, so handed a walkover to Glasspool & Patten. The Brits progressed into the next round without having to hit a ball 0-0 (RET).
In the semi-final the Brits were against the top seeds Sadio Doumbia & Fabien Reboul. The first set was extremely close. Glasspool & Patten stayed with the French pair and looked to be heading to a tiebreak. However, the top seeds broke serve right at the end of the set and took the lead. The second set was even closer. The Brits, this time, did force a tiebreak. However, the top seeds were too good and dominated the breaker to take the match in straight sets 7-5, 7-6(2).
