Jamie and John closing in on top 4 in the doubles rankings and I think we may see the Bryan Bros deposed of their top ranking shortly by Marcelo Melo

Indeed, we will see Marcelo Melo go number one on Monday and that was already guaranteed after last week I recall someone pointed out, whether the Bryans had played this week or not, given their 1000 Paris Masters title points from last year drop off.

As it is, I make it that he will jump 760 points ahead.

Re Jamie & John they already stand very well positioned to go past Dodig in number six when his 02 points come off, I presume a week Monday. Their position re Tecau & Rojer will be clearer once this week pans out, with Rojer & Tecau also in the Basel SF, they could yet net not close up at all, close up a little bit or close up a big bit.

Actually, if J & J won the title this week, with the Bryans having a further 1300 WTF points to come off, that comparison would look very interesting too. Again, l'll see how this week actually wraps up before considering just how interesting.

SF:  (3) Jamie Murray & John Peers (AUS) CR 15 (8+7) defeated Dom Inglot & Robert Lindstedt (SWE) CR 52 (29+23) by 7-5 1-6 [12-10]  smile  cry

Don't know whether to laugh or cry at that result!    Still not a bad week for Dom & Robert & a good one for Jamie & John, who more than justify their seeding by reaching the final. 

The other semi, 'twixt Peya/Soares & JJR/Tecau (2), will be played later today.

Yep, another good result for J & J given how well Dom and Robert have seemed to click. Close one though !

I'm thinking that J & J might well have the most points since Wimbledon, race from Wimbledon as it were.

Exciting times for them, really broke through this year, Slam final experience, 2016 bodes well for the pair - oh wait ...

Final:  Alexander Peya & Bruno Soares (AUT/BRA) CR 52 (28+24) defeated (3) Jamie Murray & John Peers (AUS) CR 15 (8+7) by 5 & 5  bleh

Disappointing, but not entirely surprising, methinks, more's the pity.  hmm

Pity. Still a close match and J & J have overall played to a good standard these last two weeks following news of the split.

As paulisi said was on the cards earlier, they will close up to not too far off 4th in the rankings, would be very close if they had won the final.

1. M Melo 8390 ( 800 WTF points to defend )
2. B Bryan 7540 ( 1300 WTF points )
3. M Bryan 7540 ( 1300 WTF points )

4. I Dodig 6085 ( 800 WTF points )
5. H Tecau 6040 ( 0 WTF points)
6. J Rojer 6040 ( 0 WTF points )
7. J Murray 5770 ( 0 WTF points )
8. J Peers 5690 ( 0 WTF points )

Had meant to add "And now for the thoughts of Chairman Indy" when I posted - & promptly forgot!   Interesting analysis, though.

I take it you meant Jean-Julien Rojer, Indy?  wink

Indeed, and thanks for subsequently dropping the title

Just looking at the "doubles race", j and j are only 650 pts off the Bryan's. So really not inconceivable to finish year as the top team if they do well in Paris and the o2
