Klaasen and Ram’s victory eliminate Soares from the race to No.1 in doubles, and that award goes to France’s Nicolas Mahut. The Frenchman is the first man to finish a season at No.1 in singles or doubles on the ATP Tour.

Congratulations to @NMahut, who ends 2016 as World No. 1 doubles player. First Frenchman to finish a season as No. 1 in singles or doubles.

Despite the loss, Murray and Soares finish the season as the ATP’s No.1 doubles team:
