Jamie Murray and John Peers have won five ATP men's double titles together

Britain's Jamie Murray and Australian John Peers beat Alexandr Dolgopolov and Kei Nishikori to win the Brisbane International men's doubles title.

Murray, 28, and Peers, 26, triumphed 6-3 7-6 (7-4) in just 73 minutes.

The duo did not drop a set on their way to the title, their fifth since forming a partnership at the start of 2013.

The tournament in Brisbane acts as a warm-up for the first Grand Slam of the year - the Australian Open, which starts on 19 January.

Murray, who has a doubles ranking of 41, has won 12 ATP men's doubles titles since turning pro in 2004.

Meanwhile, in India, Switzerland's top seed Stan Wawrinka won the Chennai Open, beating Slovenian qualifier Aljaz Bedene 6-3 6-4 in the final.
