Grimley Twins Set for Azerbaijan International Challenge

4th February 2026 by Robert McLean

Fresh off an impressive Men’s Doubles triumph at the Ashoka Scottish National Championships, Scotland’s number one pairing, Matt and Chris Grimley, head to Baku this week for the Azerbaijan International Challenge, aiming to add another international title to their growing collection.

The twins arrive in the Azerbaijani capital as top seeds, underlining their strong recent form, but they can expect stern opposition throughout the draw. Among the key challengers are the Král brothers of the Czech Republic, who will be looking to disrupt the Scots’ title ambitions in what promises to be a highly competitive event.

As number one seeds, Matt and Chris are scheduled to begin their campaign on Thursday or Friday, with their opening-round opponents to be confirmed once the draw is finalised.
