ANDY and Jamie Murray failed at the semi-final hurdle when they crashed out of the ABN AMRO World Tournament in Rotterdam last night.

The Scots lost 6-4 6-4 to the second seeds and last year's Wimbledon champions Jurgen Melzer and Philipp Petzschner in 72 minutes.

There were eight service breaks in total but Jamie felt that was down to the quality of their opponents' returns.

Jamie said: "These guys were returning really well. We weren't serving badly and made a few breaks of our own. They just played a bit better than us today."

Andy suffered a first-round exit in the singles on Wednesday night but was happy to stay on in Holland and spend time with his big brother.

He said: "I want to be enjoying myself and I really enjoyed the doubles. It was good fun being around him. We don't get the chance to play together that often."

Andy returns to the UK for a week off before playing in Dubai while Jamie heads to Memphis for a doubles event.
