More than 150 men's doubles players - including British world number one Henry Patten and the legendary Bryan brothers - have urged the ATP Tour to rethink "drastic" changes which they believe could kill the format.

In a show of collective action, the players have written an open letter to the men's governing body as they fight proposals which would cut draw sizes and reduce prize money from 2028.
