Bryan brothers exit ATP Finals after surprise loss

The American twins, seeded fifth, finished their round-robin matches with only one win and their exit was confirmed later when Britain's Jamie Murray, together with Brazilian partner Bruno Soares, beat world number one duo Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo.

Mike Bryan remains tied with Canadian Daniel Nestor on a record 1,056 doubles match wins in the professional era.

Murray and Soares won 6-2 6-4 ensuring there will be some British interest in the final weekend of the season.

Marach and Pavic replaced Ivan Dodig and Marcel Granollers for the final day of round-robin play.
