Huey catches last bus for ATP Tour finale

Filipino-American tennis player Treat Huey and Belarussian part­ner Max Mirnyi on Monday completed the doubles field in the ATP Tour Finale slated Nov. 13-20 in London.

The 5-foot-10 member of the Philippine Davis Cup team will make his first appearance in the ATP Tour Finale to be held at the O2 Arena.

Mirnyi, on the other hand, has qualified 10 times, winning in 2011 with partner Daniel Nestor of Canada.

The 31-year-old Huey, who was born in Washington, D.C. to a Filipino mother, has seven doubles titles. He is currently No. 22 in the doubles.

Huey and Mirnyi lost in the first round of the BNP Paribas Masters last week but secured the last seat in the Finale follow­ing the defeat of defending champions Jean-Julien Rojer and Horia Tecau in the second round in Paris.

The other pairs in the Finale are four-time champions Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan; French Open champions Feliciano Lopez and Marc Lopez; 2014 finalists Ivan Dodig and Marcelo Melo; Pierre-Hughes Herbert and Nicolas Mahut; Jamie Murray and Bruno Soares; Raven Klaasen and Rajeev Ram; and Henri Korti­nen and John Peers.
