JAMIE MURRAY <strong>2013</strong><br />
CAREER:<br />
• Jamie is one of GB’s top doubles players having won eight ATP Tour titles. His most<br />
memorable win came when he won the mixed doubles at Wimbledon in 2007, becoming the<br />
first Briton for 20 years to win a senior title at The Championships as he and partner Jelena<br />
Jankovic beat fifth seeds Jonas Bjorkman and Alicia Molik 6-4, 3-6, 6-1 on Centre Court.<br />
• He captured his first ATP doubles title in San Jose in February 2007 (ironically the same site<br />
a year after Andy won his first singles title). This was followed by titles in Memphis (2007),<br />
Nottingham (2007) and Delray Beach (2008).<br />
• In October in 2010, Jamie teamed up with younger brother Andy to win the Valencia Open<br />
500, just a week after he got married. Two further titles followed in 2011 in Metz and then<br />
Tokyo.<br />
• Jamie made his Davis Cup debut for GB in 2007 and has since played six ties, most recently<br />
against Luxembourg in July 2011.<br />
2012-13<br />
• Form dipped in 2012, won back to back matches at Tour-level only twice: at Montpellier in<br />
Feb (reaching the final w/Hanley) and again at Vienna (reaching SF w/Sa) in October; played<br />
a few Challengers at the end of the year in Geneva, Loughborough and Helsinki.<br />
• Partnering his brother Andy at the Olympic Games they fell in 1st round to Melzer/Peya 57<br />
76 75 after being twice two points from winning in the TB and twice a break up at 2-1 and<br />
4-3 in the decider.<br />
