   Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan tumbled to their lowest doubles rankings in more than 10 years at No. 4 and 5, respectively, this week.
   The 37-year-old twins and former Stanford All-Americans lost in the semifinals of last week's ATP World Tour Finals in London after winning their fourth title in the tournament last year. Consequently, they fell to their lowest ranking since both were No. 5 on June 20, 2005.
   It's just the latest in a series of disappointments for the Bryans this year.
   Marcelo Melo, a 32-year-old Brazilian who stands 6-foot-8 (2.03 meters), supplanted the Bryans at No. 1 on Nov. 2. The Bryans had been No. 1 since Feb. 25, 2013, a reign of 143 weeks.
   The Bryans, who have amassed a record 16 Grand Slam men's doubles titles, failed to win one this year for the first time since 2004.
   Also, their streak of No. 1 year-end rankings ended at six.
