Jonathan Erlich's heroic run at Wimbledon ended at the semi-final stage after he and Philipp Petzschner were beaten in a four-set thriller on Centre Court on Thursday night.

The pair came through the qualifiers before mounting an excellent run in the Men's Singles but their hopes were shattered by Jamie Murray and John Peers.

A shock looked on the cards early on as Erlich and Petzschner took the first set against the competition's 13th seeds, but in a cruel twist of fate their hopes were hampered when Erlich suffered a knee injury.

Murray and Peers rallied superbly to win the second set 6-3 before going on to win the match 6-4, 6-2.
