Andy Murray's sorry week at the Monte Carlo Masters was capped off when he and Ross Hutchins were beaten in the doubles by Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan.

Murray was sent crashing out of the singles by Philipp Kohlschreiber and he admitted after that sorry defeat that he would not panic about his slump in form.

He got back on court in the doubles and he and his partner threatened to cause a shock when taking the opening set off the No. 2 seeds in a tie-break.

The Bryan brothers hit back to take the second 6-2, setting up a long game to decide the match. The American duo are among the elite in doubles and showed their quality by taking it 10-2.
