Jamie Murray and John Peers are out of the doubles tournament.
Jamie Murray followed Colin Fleming and Jonny Marray out of the US Open in the quarter-finals as the Scot and his Australian partner John Peers lost a close three-setter to second seeds Alexander Peya and Bruno Soares.
Murray and Peers were both through to their first grand slam quarter-final in men’s doubles but were underdogs going into the clash.
Austrian Peya and his Brazilian partner Soares edged the first set but Murray and Peers fought well to take the second after a tie-break.
The decider was a tight affair but it was the British-Australian pair who exited at the last eight stage, losing 6-4 6-7 (4-7) 6-4.
On Monday, Scots player Fleming and Marray lost a close tussle with Bob and Mike Bryan, leaving Dom Inglot, who plays with Filipino Treat Huey, as the only British player left in doubles competition.
