Tokyo Olympics tennis: Andy Murray & Joe Salisbury out of men's doubles

Andy Murray's bid for an Olympic gold at a third successive Games ended as he and Joe Salisbury lost in the men's doubles quarter-finals in Tokyo.

The British pair lost 4-6 7-6 (7-2) 10-7 against Croatia's Marin Cilic and Ivan Dodig in the quarter-finals.

Murray, 34, and Salisbury, a doubles specialist who reached a career-high ranking of three last year, were playing their first event together.

Liam Broady is the final Briton left and plays Jeremy Chardy in the singles.

The 27-year-old was a late call-up to the British squad after Dan Evans tested positive for coronavirus, and marked his Olympic debut with two victories including a fine win over Wimbledon semi-finalist Hubert Hurkacz in the second round.
