(Reuters) - Doubles specialist Jamie Murray believes ATP must focus on the long-term future of the game and not just promote the 'big four' of men's tennis that include his brother Andy.

The 31-year-old Scot, who won the Queen's Club doubles title with Brazilian Bruno Soares, said the constant focus on the top players was undermining the quality of tennis the rest of the field was capable of producing on the tour.
