"If it was 5 sets, I think we could have come back" - Andy Murray's brother Jamie addresses men's doubles rule change at Wimbledon following QF exit

Jamie Murray addressed the rule change in men's doubles at Wimbledon following his quarterfinal exit, expressing his belief that he and his partner could have made a comeback if there had been five sets.

The former doubles World No. 1 and his partner Michael Venus were the 13th seeds at the All-England Championships this year. They were playing together for the first time since the 2021 US Open, and it was also the first time they had reached the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam together.

The British-Kiwi duo faced Kevin Krawietz and Tim Puetz in the doubles quarterfinals. The match was close in the first set, but the 10th seeds eventually won the match 6-4, 6-3 to book their place in the semifinals.

After the defeat, Jamie Murray reflected on losing another opportunity to accomplish his career goal of winning the Wimbledon doubles title. Talking about the match in the interview with BBC Sport, Jamie said:

'If it was five sets I think we could have come back."

Jamie's statement suggests that he believes his team was the better team on the day but that they could not overcome the deficit because of the shorter format.

"I've made no secret that winning the Wimbledon men's title is the biggest goal over the rest of my career," Jamie added.

After reaching the doubles final, Neal Skupski said that winning Wimbledon would be the "holy grail" for him and that he and his partner Wesley Koolhof wanted to win their first Grand Slam together. He added that it would be extra special to do it at the All-England Championships.

Skupski and Koolhof faced India's Rohan Bopanna and Australia's Matthew Ebden in the semifinals. They had a tough fight in the first set, but the top-seeded won the match in straight sets 7-5, 6-4 to reach their first Wimbledon final.

Granollers and Zeballos reached the Championships final by defeating the German pair Tim Puetz and Kevin Krawietz, who knocked out Jamie and Venus in the quarter-finals.

Skupski and Koolhof will meet 15th seeds Zeballos and Granollers in the final on July 15, Saturday.
