Jamie Murray moved closer to a second Wimbledon doubles title as he and Australian partner John Peers marched into the men's doubles semi-finals.

The 29-year-old Scot was a mixed doubles champion with Jelena Jankovic eight years ago and stands within touching distance of another final, with a 6-4 7-6 (7/3) 6-3 victory over Alexander Peya and Bruno Soares sealing a last-four place.

Peers served them over the winning line, the pair embracing as the Court Two crowd roared approval, Murray's mother Judy leaping to her feet in the stands to punch the air in delight.
