Can you join without betting just to watch the doubles?

yes but you need to deposit minimum amount.
tho you are in the US, books are different there, I don't even know if US bookmakers provide streamings.
better yet check these websites:

In the past, you needed to have at least some money on your account to be able to watch. Not sure what's the case now; I don't want to use these sites.

Still pissed that TennisTV doesn't always show doubles.

Yeah, I why not set up a couple more cameras to show doubles? I'm very annoyed that they don't show all the doubles, not even finals...

It's worse though. The cameras are already there. You can watch the matches on betting websites, so they have cameras. They just don't have the licensing, probably because not enough people care to shell out the money. It's the same for qualifying matches.

Agh. So frustrating.

A big win for Haase/VDZ over top seeds Doumbia/Reboul in Montpellier! Into the QFs.

A very important win for Haase because his ranking has been slipping.

Good victory and indeed Haase has points from Rotterdam final and Dubai SF coming off soon. Botics' level in doubles last couple of months is very good. I feel like he could win a Slam with a good partner, maybe I'm overreacting but his combination of serve, net skills and return is very strong for the doubles game.

It's a Dutch party in the doubles tournament

SF Griekspoor/Stevens - Arends/Johnson
SF Haase/Zandschulp - x

 

[POTUS Haase]

Haase/Botic take the Montpellier title, were close to defeat but turned it around. First title for Haase in 2 years, last one was also Montpellier with Middelkoop. Botic wins his second doubles title after Antwerp with Griekspoor.

 

[CooCooCachoo]

Would have preferred a Griekspoor/Stevens win, but great run for Haase/VDZ.

Now Botic and Tallon will pair up in Rotterdam.

 

[George Stobbart]

Robin still has a slam in him before calling it quits.

 

[CooCooCachoo]

Pavlasek is looking quite unfit.

 

[POTUS Haase]

Pavlasek is looking quite unfit.

Also zero chemistry between him and Rojer. I thought Rojer was retiring?

8-8 in the match tiebreak Rojer hit a smash into the bottom of the net, that sealed the deal.

 

[CooCooCachoo]

Big win for Schnaitter/Wallner. They don't have much experience at this level, so they will be ecstatic. I doubt they will have played on a bigger court than this.

But Rojer's career is fizzling out.

loved their energy at AO.

 

[CooCooCachoo]

loved their energy at AO.

I agree. You can sense a bit of college tennis influence, but in a reasonably understated way.

 

[CooCooCachoo]

Griekspoor/VDZ lose to Krawietz/Puetz. Almost pulled off the comeback in the second set, but lost the breaker.

 

[ladyisla]

I really kinda like when the doubles specialists show the guys who mostly play singles how it's done.

 

[CooCooCachoo]

Either Bolelli/Vavassori's coaches are being super loud or there are some truly obnoxious fans on Court 1 in Rotterdam

 

[CooCooCachoo]

These Italians are so annoying they almost make me want to root for Hurkacz/Mensik. Absolutely obnoxious.

 

[POTUS Haase]

Salisbury/Skupski with another poor loss in straights to King/Harrison 4-6 4-6

Skupski was horrible, got broken three times.

 

[CooCooCachoo]

Jan Zielinski is such a great doubles player. Watching him in person, you can see how fast his reaction speed is. Really gifted player. He deserves a better partner than Sander Gille.
