Andy Murray will not face his brother in the Wimbledon men's doubles after Jamie Murray and Neal Skupski were knocked out in the first round.
The siblings would have met in the third round had both got through their opening two matches.
Mother Judy Murray had said she would rather go to the pub than sit through the "torture" of her sons playing each other.
