p"span style="color: #000000;"I think they kind of said it last night with feeling a little added pressure knowing that you played well here last year and having an expectation," Withrow said after the match. "But at the same time I think we feel comfortable here."/span/p

p style="color: #000000; margin: 0cm;"Lammons talked about the pair improving as they advanced throughout the tournament: "You get kind of the emotional rollercoaster in the first two rounds with the ten point busters and sneaking out of those was great. We kind of played ourselves into the event finally and then it was the semis and the final."/p
p"I think you canrsquo;t take a negative away from it; we played a lot of matches and that was the main point."/p
pThis is the pair's third title of the North American summer swing in 2024 following their victories at the a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/tournaments/atlanta/6116/overview'Atlanta Open/a and the a href='https://www.atptour.com/en/tournaments/washington/418/overview'Mubadala Citi DC Open/a.nbsp;/p
