Back with a win; 6-4 6-7 10-5 Andy & Jamie 🇬🇧

iainfordyce

Andy and Jamie Murray are back in action with a win! This was the first time the duo have played together for a couple of years and many more years on the tour. The first round opponents for the British pair were French pairing of Nicolás Mahut and Edouard Roger-Vaselin. Most of Nicolas’ success in doubles has come with Pierre Hugues Herbert who is focusing more on singles right now but of course didn’t play doubles with his fellow Frenchman at Wimbledon to play with Andy Murray. That partnership ended in round one but Mahut and Roger-Vaselin made it to … Continue reading Back with a win; 6-4 6-7 10-5 Andy & Jamie 🇬🇧

Jamie & Bruno cruise into semi-finals

iainfordyce

Jamie Murray and Bruno Soares are safely through to the semi-finals in Monte-Carlo. The third seeds who have needed all three sets so far in their opening two victories down in Monte-Carlo only needed two sets to see off Joao Sousa and Diego Schwartzman who usually play their trade on the singles tour. For the first ten games it was even. There was nothing to separate either teams who held service games easily but you could see that the Schwartzman and Sousa pairing don’t play as much because some balls got left for each other but when Murray and Soares … Continue reading Jamie & Bruno cruise into semi-finals
