Andy Murray will switch attention back to his singles comeback after losing to older brother Jamie in the Cincinnati Masters quarter-finals.
In the second meeting of the Scottish brothers' careers, Jamie Murray and Neal Skupski beat Andy Murray and Feliciano Lopez won 6-7 7-5 10-4.Murray and Skupski face Ivan Dodig and Filip Polasek in the semi-finals.
"But it was fine, and I'm happy Jamie got through. You want to go out there and compete and play as well as you can, but you're not getting the same enjoyment out of serving an ace or hitting a great return as you might be in other matches.Both Andy and Jamie, who played together in Washington earlier this month, said it would be a"weird" feeling playing against each other in a competitive scenario and the match ended up lacking intensity.
Of playing his brother, Jamie said:"It was a bit awkward, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. It was probably harder for him to be honest, but we both went out there and battled hard. Andy Murray will play singles at next week's ATP event in Winston-Salem before considering entering a tournament on the Challenger Tour during the US Open.
