Melbourne, Australia, 11 November 2024 | Jackson Mansell

John Peers has ended his season in scintillating fashion, winning the Serbia Open doubles title alongside Great Britain’s Jamie Murray.

In a tightly-contest final, the pair came from a set down to defeat Ivan Dodig and Skander Mansouri 3-6 7-6(5) [11-9].

Peers and Murray have continued their winning ways since they revived their partnership in August.

Their triumph in Belgrade marked their second title in three weeks after they also prevailed at the ATP 500 event in Basel.

This week’s most outstanding performers include…

Ellen Perez: Following a runner-up appearance at the 2023 WTA Finals, Perez and her US partner, Nicole Melichar-Martinez, again progressed beyond the group stages to the semifinals in Riyadh. After two of three group-stage match wins, the duo succumbed to second seeds and eventual champions Erin Routliffe and Gabriela Dabrowski.

Chris O’Connell: For the first time since January, O’Connell reached the quarterfinals of a tour-level event at the ATP 250 tournament in Belgrade. During his run, the 30-year-old dismantled world No.53 Mimoir Kecmanovic in just over an hour, before he lost to eventual champion Denis Shapovalov.

Alex Bolt: The left-hander advanced to the final of the Matsuyama Challenger this week. In his first ATP Challenger final in 10 months and bidding for his fourth title at that level, the 31-year-old fell short against world No.119 Nicolas Moreno De Alboran in straight sets.

Patrick Harper: The 24-year-old won his maiden ATP Challenger doubles title in Knoxville, USA. A former collegiate player, Harper paired with Britain’s Johannus Monday to defeat Americans Micah Brasswell and Eliot Spizzirri for the crown. It came on the heels of his ATP Challenger doubles semifinal last week in Charlottesville, USA.
