London:
Andy Murray may have grabbed the headlines for ending Britain's 74-year wait for a Wimbledon men's finalist on Friday, but Jonathan Marray also made history in the doubles.
Marray became the first Briton to reach the men's doubles final at Wimbledon in 52 years after he and Danish partner Frederik Nielsen beat defending champions Mike and Bob Bryan 6-4, 7-6 (11/9), 6-7 (7/4), 7-6 (7/5).
Bobby Wilson and Mike Davies were Britain's last men's doubles finalists in 1960.
Marray and Nielsen will face Robert Lindstedt and Horia Tecau or Jurgen Melzer and Philipp Petzschner in the final.
Nielsen's grandfather Kurt was twice a runner-up in the men's singles at Wimbledon in 1953 and 1955.
