Jamie Murray Doubles Partner for 2007

Won't pretend that this was a decision I had expected. But it's a good move as they have had a lot of success when they've played together.

Wonder who Auckland will go for...
He can play AO with Delgado. The cut was 190 last time.

Maybe they are looking to the DC ties as well.....Jamie/Jamie could do well on the main ATP tour....and should arguably be the DC doubles pair ?

Yeah, I think that the DC team will be Andy, Tim, Jamie and Jamie very soon.

RobC · All-time great

No offence to Jamie D, but I'd much prefer Jamie to hook up with an established top 50 doubles player - ideally, of course Mirnyi, when Bjorkman finally retires, but certainly a Dlouhy, or someone of similar talent. Not sure how far the Jamies could get together.

From what i have read Andy will play with his Brother no more than half a dozen times this year....so if Jamie Murray could get his ranking up substantially playing with Andy then with the progress Delgado wants to make then playing together they could get into quite a few ATP events directly.

- But we know that Jamie's capable of reaching ATP finals with the right partner. If he's only scraping to get into the quarters with Jamie D, then he'll not be doing himself justice.

I agree, strange move as far as I'm concerned.

Dont think they'll want to lose 2 places from the doubles to non singles players, if either Andy or tim got injured you've got no-one to play the final singles rubber.
