Jamie Murray and Bruno Soares cruise to victory at ATP Finals
Wednesday 15 November 2017 20:32, UK
Jamie Murray and Bruno Soares pulled progress at the ATP Finals back into their own hands after they cruised to victory over Marcel Granollers and Ivan Dodig.
After losing to Bob and Mike Bryan on Monday, Murray and Soares knew defeat here would end their hopes of reaching the semi-finals, but they delivered an emphatic response by winning 6-1 6-1.
Murray and Soares can now guarantee their place in the last four by beating Marcelo Melo and Lukasz Kubot on Friday, while Dodig and Granollers are eliminated regardless.
Defeat to Melo and Kubot would leave Murray and Soares relying on Dodig and Granollers to overcome the Bryan brothers.
Melo and Kubot have won both of their opening two group matches and are yet to drop a set, but Murray and Soares will take great confidence from this ruthless performance.
"It's going to be difficult but I think we're a great team," Murray said. "If we play our best I think we're better than them. We might not win but I'm still going to back us."
