Andy Murray expected to team up with brother Jamie at Wimbledon

Andy Murray is expected to team up with brother Jamie to play doubles at Wimbledon in what is likely to be the former world number one’s final appearance at the British Grand Slam.

Three-time major winner Murray, 37, announced in February that he planned to retire later this year.

Doubles specialist Jamie Murray expressed his desire to play with Andy at Wimbledon during an interview last week, and according to reports the pair are likely to take part in the All England Club’s doubles event.

Two-time Wimbledon singles winner Andy Murray has shifted his focus to playing more doubles matches in recent months after signaling his ambition to make another appearance at the Olympics.

The Paris Games start at the end of July, less than two weeks after Wimbledon ends.

Andy Murray, who only returned from an ankle injury in May, played doubles with compatriot Dan Evans at the French Open but they exited in the first round.

A decision now appears to have been made for the Murray brothers to team up at Wimbledon and resume their 2015 Davis Cup-winning doubles partnership.

Andy Murray, now ranked 97th in the world, starts his grass-court season on Tuesday when he takes on American player Marcos Giron in the first round of the ATP tournament in Stuttgart.
