LONDON — Top seeds and defending champions Bob and Mike Bryan saved five match points to beat Jamie Murray and John Peers 6-7(5) 7-6(5) 16-14 in a cliffhanger and reach the semi-finals at the ATP World Tour Finals on Thursday.
The American twins looked out of it when they trailed 9-5 in the deciding championship tiebreak but used all their craft, and some luck, to claw back the deficit and qualify at the expense of the Anglo/Australian duo.
It was their 35th victory in the year-end championship -- taking them past the record they had shared with Daniel Nestor.
