Jamie Murray hailed his brother Andy's achievements at Wimbledon this year following his quarter-final defeat to Rafael Nadal.
The match was Murray's first in the last eight of a grand slam but he was overpowered in straight sets by the world number two.
Older brother Jamie, who remains on course to defend his mixed doubles crown at the All England Club, said: 'He's disappointed the way the match went, but it was a great effort for him to get through to the quarter-finals of a grand slam for the first time.

'I came in a bit later and I had a bit of a smile on my face just to raise the spirits again.'
Jamie and American doubles partner Liezel Huber reached the semi-finals thanks to a 7-5 6-4 win over Daniel Nestor and Chia-Jung Chuang.
Murray senior told Sky Sports News: 'This is the time of year when all eyes are on British players. We've got all the fans here cheering for us.
'I enjoy it, it's my favourite tournament to come and play at. Last year I got the chance to play on Centre Court and that's why I grew up wanting to play tennis.
'So when I get the chance I'm going to make sure I enjoy it.'
Dream team: Jamie Murray and Liezel Huber
