Fleming wins Auckland doubles title

Britain's Colin Fleming has won the men's doubles with partner Bruno Soares at the ATP Auckland event.

The duo defeated the Scandinavian pairing of Johan Brunstrom and Frederik Nielsen 7-6(1) 7-6(2) to clinch the title.

Fleming and Brazilian Soares both gave messages of support to Ross Hutchins at the end of the match following the Brit's recent announcement that he had been diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

Hutchins and regular partner Fleming reached the quarter-finals of the men's doubles at both Wimbledon and the US Open in 2011.
