Jamie Murray and John Peers defeated Alexandr Dolgopolov and Kei Nishikori 6-3 7-6 (7-4) in the men’s doubles final at the Brisbane International.
Britain's Murray and Peers of Australia clinched their first title of the season, and fifth in total, as they ended a three-match losing streak in finals by wrapping up the win in 73 minutes.
The duo enjoyed a fine week in Brisbane and did not drop a set in the entire tournament.
"We had a great week," said Murray on the ATP Tour website. "It's good to start the year with a title.
"You couldn't really ask for anything more. It shows each other that we obviously did a lot of hard work in the off-season.
"Right from our first practice, we both felt each other had improved.
"We played our first match with a lot of confidence and we carried that through the week. We're really excited to win the tournament here in Brisbane."
