The MTN Super Squad pairing beat another unseeded tandem, Oleg Ogorodov of Uzbekistan and Israel’s Eyal Ran, 7-5 6-3 in Sunday’s final. It was the Israeli’s serve that came under fire in the first and second sets. Coetzee and Roberts broke him in the 11th game of the first and served out for the set and then again in the third game of the second.
