Another victory over the top seeded pair for Divij/Artem:

[R1] Divij Sharan (IND)/ Artem Sitak (NZL) d. 1-Austin Krajicek (USA)/ Franko Skugor (CRO) 76(3) 63

They had also beaten top seeded Venus/Peers at the Auckland Open (R1) at the beginning of this year, and beaten top-seeded Skugor/Mektic in September 2019 at the SF of the ATP St Petersberg (where they won the title).
