Heartbreak for Peers at Tour Finals

November 20, 2015

A groundbreaking year for John Peers has come to an end overnight with a heartbreaking match tie­break loss at the ATP World Tour Finals.

Needing a win to make it through to the semi finals, Peers and partner Jamie Murray fell in the tightest and highest quality match of the tournament 6­7(5) 7­6(5) [16­14] to world number 1 combination Bob and Mike Bryan.

Playing in front of a sell out O2 Arena crowd the world number four pair had plenty of chances but couldn’t quite pull off the upset.
