Jamie hopes to be first Murray brother into Wimbledon final

Jamie Murray will try to upstage his famous brother today as he bids to become the first Briton to make it into a Wimbledon final at this year’s championships.

Andy Murray’s older sibling will take to Centre Court with partner John Peers from Australia for their men’s doubles semi-final.

Jamie, 29, who won the mixed doubles title at SW19 in 2007, has laughed off Andy’s suggestion that he is a jinx for his older brother.

“I’ve lost a lot of matches where he hasn’t been there so I’m not quite sure that’s true,” he said.

“He can watch if he wants to.”

Tennis fans have been urged to allow extra time to travel to the All England Club due to the ongoing strike on the London Underground.

A Wimbledon spokeswoman said the number of spectators was not expected to fall despite the travel problems many will face to reach the grounds.
