LONDON – Finland’s Henri Kontinen and Australia’s John Peers defeated Brazilian Marcelo Melo and Pole Lukasz Kubot 6-4, 6-2 on Sunday, successfully defending their doubles title at the ATP Tour Finals.

Kontinen and Peers needed 69 minutes to defeat the world No. 1 team, clinching their fifth title of the season in as many finals.
