Day nine: Murray & Peers defeated in quarter-final match tie-break
Jamie Murray and John Peers’ run at the Rolex Shanghai Masters has come to an end in the quarter-finals with a narrow defeat to Adam Pavlasek and Jean-Julien Rojer.
Like in their second round victory over top seeds Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos, Murray and Peers came back from a set down but ultimately lost 7-6(2), 4-6, 10-5.
With little to split between the teams on serve, the British, Australian duo clinched the only break of the match for a 4-2 lead in the second set – eventually setting up the deciding match tie-break.
Murray and Peers had saved all four break points faced through the first two sets, but a double mini break early in the match tie-break proved too tall of a task to come back from. Despite pulling on back from 6-5 the Czech, Dutch duo rattled off the last four straight points.
The result means that there are no more British players left competing in Shanghai. Attentions will now turn to indoor hard court events in Europe before ultimately reaching the final ATP Masters 1000 event of the season in Paris.
