Britain’s Jamie Murray and Neal Skupski lost their Cincinnati Masters semi-final in straight sets.

Murray and Skupski were defeated 6-1 6-4 by Ivan Dodig and Filip Polasek in the rain-hit match.

A torrential downpour stopped the game for around an hour at 4-3 in the second set, but the delay did not effect the winning duo’s dominance.

Murray, 33, and his partner reached the semis by beating his brother Andy and Feliciano Lopez in the previous round.

Bosnia’s Dodig and his Slovakian Polasek will play Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah in Sunday’s final, after they defeated Bruno Soares and Mate Pavic 6-3 6-2.
