The top seeds had very little trouble with the Polish pair and dominated from the outset. Penney & Bukala eased through into the next round dropping only one game 6-1, 6-0.
The semi-final saw the Brit/Pole against fourth seeds Tadeusz Kruszelnicki & Steffen Sommrfeld. The Pole/German pair stayed with the top seeds at the start, before Penney & Bukala broke serve to take the lead. The second set was even closer as the fourth seeds went toe-to-toe. Eventually, the top seeds secured the vital break of serve and moved in to the final 6-4, 7-5.
In the final the top seeds were to play the third seeds, Anthony Dittmar & Christophe Wilke. However, the Germans didn’t take to the court and handed the top seeds a walkover. Not the way the Brit/Pole would have wanted to take the title but they claimed the title 0-0 (RET).
