The duo lost a tight first set in a tiebreak and couldn’t stop the No 4 seeds from taking the next two 6-4 6-4.

It completes two days of misery for the Murray family after Jamie’s brother Andy lost to Roger Federer in the singles semi-final.

The Dutch-Romanian pairing won in just under two hours on Centre Court, denying Murray and his Australian partner a first men's doubles Slam title.

The 29-year-old, who was watched by Andy on Centre Court, told the BBC: "I didn't know he was coming till I heard him shouting. He was shouting all the time, encouragement. It was cool. It was nice to see him out there supporting."

The brothers will now face France in the Davis Cup quarter-final next week which will also be played on grass - at the Queen’s Club in London.

"It's an exciting match to look forward to," Jamie Murray said. "It's a big tie for us. There's going to be a lot of people coming out to support. Motivation is high for the match."

Murray and Peers had their chances to win the first set, but could not take advantage of three break points. And that was as close as they came.

"We got to the final of Wimbledon, which is not so easy to do. I mean, my best result in a Grand Slam by quite some distance, I guess”, added Murray.

"It's sad to lose but I guess overall it was a positive tournament."
