Andy Murray to partner brother Jamie in Wimbledon doubles

Andy Murray has accepted a wild card to play doubles alongside brother Jamie Murray at Wimbledon.

The former World No. 1 in the PIF ATP Rankings and two-time Wimbledon singles champion remains hopeful of also playing singles following a back procedure.

The 37-year-old said on Wednesday: “I feel that I deserve the opportunity to give it until the very last moment to make that decision. It’s complicated and it’s made more complicated because I want to play at Wimbledon one more time.”

Last week Murray’s back forced him to withdraw midway through the first set of his second-round match against Australian Jordan Thompson at Queen’s.

The Wimbledon singles draw is on Friday, with matches starting on Monday. Murray holds a 61-13 tournament singles record.

Murray has played doubles at The Championships just twice, according to Infosys ATP Stats. In 2005 he and David Sherwood lost in the first round. In 2019 he fell in the second round with Pierre-Hugues Herbert.
