Some purists will tell you that the doubles match is really a kind of failed form of tennis which cannot capture the pure artistry of a game of singles. And sometimes it’s easy to agree with them: it rarely captures the kind of liquid ballet of a really great one-on-one rally.
But sometimes it all clicks, and this set, starring Australia‘s John Peers and Finland‘s Henri Kontinen playing at the ATP World Tour Finals in London just proves it.
Just watch, okay:

The punters enjoyed it:
If anyone criticises doubles they should just show them this point. Brilliant. https://t.co/8VGpRNrlD4
