Britain’s Jamie Murray and Australian John Peers lose to Jean-Julien Rojer and Horia Tecau in the Wimbledon doubles final.
Jamie Murray was unable to restore family pride at Wimbledon when he and partner John Peers were beaten 7-6 (7/5), 6-4, 6-4 by Jean-Julien Rojer and Horia Tecau in the men’s doubles final on Saturday.
A day after brother Andy was defeated by Roger Federer in straight sets in the singles semi-finals, Jamie was unable to collect a second All England Club title to add to his 2007 mixed doubles triumph with Jelena Jankovic.
The Murray brothers will now turn their attention to next weekend’s Davis Cup when Great Britain host France in the quarter-finals.
Horia Tecau a castigat sambata finala de dublu masculin a turneului de Grand Slam de la Wimbledon.
Romanul si partenerul sau, olandezul Jean-Julien Rojer, au trecut in trei seturi, scor 7-6, 6-4, 6-4, de Murray si Peers.
Dupa trei finale consecutive la Londra, toate pierdute, Tecau a reusit in sfarsit sa castige marele trofeu.
Intalnirea disputata sambata pe Arena Centrala a fost una echilibrata, insa aflata la discretia cuplului romano-olandez.
Dupa ce au castigat greu primul set, la tiebreak, Tecau si Rojer au reusit in urmatoarele doua sa obtina breakurile necesare pentru a se impune.
Chiar daca au avut de cealalta parte a terenului doi jucatori determinati si foarte siguri pe ei, Horia si partenerul sau au reusit sa speculeze toate greselile facute de acestia, castigand pana la urma intr-o maniera clara.
Tecau si Rojer au obtinut primul trofeu de Grand Slam la dublu masculin din cariera.
Horia este, de asemenea, al doilea roman care cucereste trofeul de la Wimbledon, dupa Ilie Nastase, in 1973.
Tecau/ Rojer - Murray/ Peers 7-6, 6-4, 6-4
