Alexander Peya and Bruno Soares gave their Barclays ATP World Tour Finals bid a big boost on Sunday as they captured their second title of the season at the Swiss Indoors Basel. The Austrian/Brazilian duo defeated Jamie Murray and John Peers 7-5, 7-5 in the final.

Peya and Soares are ninth in the Emirates ATP Doubles Race To London and closed the gap on eighth-placed Rohan Bopanna and Florin Mergea to just 125 points. Five teams are vying for the eighth and final spot at the prestigious season finale, with 1000 points to play for at the upcoming BNP Paribas Masters in Paris. Murray and Peers, two-time Grand Slam finalists this season, have already clinched their spot in the eight-team field.

“Paris will be another very tough event,” said Soares. “All we can do is bring our confidence to Paris. Right now we’re playing some great tennis, probably our best of the whole year. So let’s try to bring this momentum to Paris and fight for the last spot.”

Peya and Soares improved to a 6-2 mark against Murray and Peers as they claimed victory in one hour and 33 minutes, breaking serve four times. Both teams will end their partnerships at the close of 2015, with Soares and Murray due to join forces for the 2016 season.

“It feels amazing. We had a rollercoaster in the first round and got through it,” said Peya. “But most of the time that’s how you end up winning tournaments! Then we started playing really well and picked up our confidence. I think we played pretty great matches after.”

Peya and Soares captured their 12th ATP World Tour title together. They have played three finals this season, lifting the trophy in Munich (d. Zverev brothers) and finishing runners-up in Stuttgart (l. to Bopanna/Mergea).

Murray and Peers were contesting their eighth final of the season and fell to a 2-6 mark. They also finished runners-up last week in Vienna at the Erste Bank Open (l. to Kubot/Melo).
