Murray brothers knocked out of Citi Open doubles


Andy Murray and brother Jamie have fallen at the quarter-final stage of the Citi Open in Washington to
Raven Klaasen and Michael Venus. The British pair took the first set of the clash on a tiebreak, but lost the
second in similar fashion as all 24 games followed serve.


Klaasen and Venus were seeded third in the tournament and showed why in the deciding tiebreak, breaking
the Murrays’ serve to open up a 3-0 lead. Undeterred, the brothers bounced back to take a 7-5 lead but the
South African and New Zealander won five points in a row to prevail 6-7 (3) 7-6 (6) 10-7.
