Ken and Neal Skupski Ken and Neal Skupski 12 Northern Vision Northern Vision presenting: Neal and Ken from Allerton, Liverpool, were introduced as a doubles pairing during the Liverpool Hope International in June beating top 100 pairing from Argentina Martin Alund and Guido Pella. They have since gone from strength to strength on their ATP challenger Circuit by winning four events and reaching the final in Nottingham, followed by their biggest breakthrough at Kremlin Cup, Moscow where they got to the final for their first official ATP 250 tournament. We have high hopes for the brothers and we are confident that their potential future success will create a local tennis fever in Liverpool and the region. Northern Vision is proud to partner up with the brothers and we are assisting in finding sponsors for them.

Northern Vision believes in the future success of the Skupski brothers and they can be great brand representatives around the world. Ken (born 1983) has played for many years and has won an ATP tournament in Marseilles, 2011. His brother Neal has just finished a four year tennis scholarship at LSU, Baton Rouge (Louisiana State University) and the brothers are now teaming up to play doubles together. Liverpoolʼs Davis Cup star Ken Skupski teamed up with younger brother Neil this summer – and together the Mossley Hill duo believes they can quickly climb the world rankings.

  • 2020 Western & Southern Open Doubles Field
    Western & Southern Open Defending Champions Headline Doubles Fields CINCINNATI (Aug. 11, 2020) – Both the women’s and men’s defending champions are among the initial entries to play doubles at the 2020 Western & Southern Open, which will be held Aug. 20-28 at the USTA Billie Jean King Tennis Center in New York. The 2019 WTA doubles winners – Lucie Hradecka and Andreja Klepac – are joined by the ATP Tour champions – Ivan Dodig and Filip Polasek – to headline the early entries. Other notable entries on the women’s side include the teenage pairing of Cincinnati’s 18-year-old Caty McNally and 16-year-old Coco Gauff. Dubbed “McCoco,” the duo won a pair of WTA titles in 2019 – at Washington, D.C. and Luxembourg – and reached the US Open Round of 16. Elise Mertens and Aryna Sabalenka, who finished 2019 atop the WTA Porsche Race to Shenzen as the season’s No. 1 team, are also in the field. Reigning Australian Open singles champion Sofia Kenin, a 21-year- old American, has entered with former Western & Southern Open singles and doubles winner Victoria Azarenka. The top two teams in the ATP Tour doubles race are entered in the men’s draw. The No. 1 team of Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah is returning after reaching two straight Western & Southern Open finals. They are joined in the field by the No. 2 team of Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo. The ATP Tour No. 1 ranked singles player, Novak Djokovic, has entered the doubles draw with countryman Filip Krajinovic. An additional five women’s teams and six men’s duos will join the fields through on-site entries, while the tournament will award three wild cards into each draw to complete the 32-team fields.
