According to the ATP Tour website, Klaasen and Lammons' only previous tour-level appearance together was on the clay in Lyon in May, where they reached the quarter-finals.

But the duo formed a formidable partnership in Seoul, dropping just one set all week. 

In Sunday’s final, they broke the serve of their second-seeded opponents four times en route to an 83-minute triumph at the ATP 250 hard-court event.
