Mike Bryan and Jack Sock defeated Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut in the final, 5–7, 6–1, [13–11] to win the doubles tennis title at the 2018 ATP Finals.[1] They saved a championship point en route to Bryan's fifth Tour Finals title, and his first with a partner other than his brother Bob Bryan. Bryan became the oldest doubles champion in the tournament's history.
Henri Kontinen and John Peers were the two-time reigning champions, but they only qualified for the first alternate spot.[2] Kontinen and Peers replaced Nikola Mektić and Alexander Peya for the last match in the round-robin competition, but did not progress to the knockout stage.
