Briton Jamie Murray and Brazilian Bruno Soares are out of the French Open in their last tournament together.

The second seeds lost to unseeded Italians Lorenzo Sonego and Matteo Berrettini 4-6 7-5 7-6 (7-4).

Soares told Brazilian press the duo will split after Roland Garros, but Murray has yet to comment.

The Scot will now link up with fellow Briton Neal Skupksi, who confirmed the partnership after his French Open win with older brother Ken on Tuesday.

Murray and Soares broke serve at 5-4 up to take the first set, but the Italians levelled the match with a late break in the second.

The deciding set went to a tie-break and Sonego and Berrettini held on to claim an upset.

‘A good time for a change’

Murray and Soares teamed up in 2016 and won the Australian Open and US Open that year.

But Soares told Brazilian website matchtiebreak.com: “Jamie called me and we chatted, where he told me that no matter how much the results are coming out, they did not match the expectation we had.

“And he thought it would be a good time for us to change.”

Murray and Skupski have entered the grass-court tournament at s-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands the week after Roland Garros.

Earlier this month he dismissed suggestions he could team up with his brother – former world number one singles player Andy – in the doubles at Wimbledon.

Earlier on Tuesday, Skupski raced through to the second round with his brother after beating fellow Brits Jonny O’Mara and Luke Bambridge in straight sets.

The Skupskis won 6-1 6-2 but face a tougher challenge in the next round, where they will likely face 16-time Grand Slam winners Bob and Mike Bryan.
