Two years ago, Raven Klaasen and partner Eric Butorac stunned six-time champions Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan in the Australian Open third round. Lightning has struck twice for the South African, scoring another upset of the American twins 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 alongside Rajeev Ram on Monday.
Today, Brazil’s Marcelo Melo is the new individual No. 1 in the Emirates ATP Doubles Rankings. You’d have to turn the clock back more than three years to September 3, 2012 to find the last time someone not named Bryan held down the top spot.
Just two spots remain in the eight-team doubles field at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, as the duos of Ivan Dodig/Marcelo Melo, Pierre-Hughes Herbert/Nicolas Mahut, Simone Bolelli/Fabio Fognini and Jamie Murray/John Peers have secured their places in the prestigious season finale...
The South African/Brazilian pairing of Raven Klaasen and Marcelo Melo claimed its second straight doubles title on Sunday at the Shanghai Rolex Masters, topping the all-Italian duo of Simone Bolelli and Fabio Fognini 6-3, 6-3 at the Qizhong Tennis Center.

As a member of the Washington Kastles, Martina Hingis knows a thing or two about winning streaks. After all, she joined the Kastles just in time to help them pass the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers with 34 consecutive victories.
In this era when there are so many hot prospects to talk about -- Kyrgios, Thiem, Coric -- Jiri Vesely has tended to be forgotten. Maybe it's time that changed. At age 21, he was playing in his first-ever final -- yet he dominated his much older opponent, showing no hint of nerves.
Leander Paes is one partner away from playing with 100 different teammates during his illustrious career. No. 99 is making a strong case to prevent Paes from ever getting there. The newly-formed duo of Paes and Raven Klaasen began their partnership at the start of this season and promptly finished runner-up in Chennai.
One of the many reasons why Bob and Mike Bryan have been so dominant as a doubles duo is, of course, that they never split up. As their partnership remains a constant, other doubles players are consistently changing up their partners year in and year out. Next season will be no exception.
