The Men’s Doubles final was tipped to be a cliffhanger and as predicted it went down to the wire. In a classic clash that has been witnessed for many years, defending champ Yasitha De Silva overcame a spirited Sanka Athukorala (LMC) in a 2-1 nail biter. De Silva had early advantage 6/3 but Athukorala fought back to tie the game and they went into a super tiebreak where De Silva came out victorious 10/8.
