Hide AdLike in so many matches you see after a close first set, the second set was a easier set for Rollinson and Carlos who won 6-0.
It looked like the loss of the first set affected Reynolds and Paddon’s form and they didn’t manage to maintain their form in the second set.
Rollinson and Carlos were in inspirational form in the second set and deserved to win the doubles title.
