Final Point in US Open Men's Doubles Game is Nasty-Frenetic

Yesterday, French doubles partners Nicolas Mahut and Pierre-Hugues Herbert shut down Britain's Jamie Murray and Australia's John Peers 6-4, 6-4, ending the game with the kind of point you could hardly expect from an in-Matrix ping-pong match.

The British-Australian pair had hopes for a first Grand Slam men's doubles title, but missed out—as they had in Wimbledon, where they also finished as runners-up. Tough break. But an entertaining tough break.
