JAMIE murray in the final of the gents doubles. good luck :)

[PankySmooch]

You mean there's a brother?????

[retrocop]

Who's he?

[Butterbun]

He's the extra special son.

[SirOracle]

Yes the sons of that ubiquitous mother who is ever present on the T V.

[Butterbun]

She's there supporting her sons sir oracle, nothing wrong with that.

[anneasquith]

NB. this is 'sports topic' guys....... not chatterbank.

[SirOracle]

Yes Butterbun....she does indeed do so with such decorum and dignity !!

[SirOracle]

Sorry anne...should I have posted on "come dancing ". ;-)

[thesecondlaw]

Yes, let's not forget that he was a Wimbledon Champion long before Andy. Mixed Doubles with Jelena Jankovic 2007 ( I can't believe that was eight years ago)

Thank you for letting us know, Anneasquith.
I shall ignore the sour remarks from other posters.

[anneasquith]

indeed pete :)

[tonyav]

Hiya anne, well done Jamie.

[PankySmooch]

Will his mother stick around to watch?

[Butterbun]

My remarks wasn't being 'sour'. That is what Judy calls Jamie, and Andy 'her special son'. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for Jamie and his partner tomorrow. Hope he wins the match.

Jamie Murray's career has been somewhat less stellar than his brother's but a great chance to win a second slam title and I do hope he and Peers manage it!

[Pete65]

Butterbun, I did not mean you.
Sorry, if you thought I did.

[Butterbun]

Okay pete65. :-)

[Cloverjo]

I hope he and Peers win.
It must be really annoying to be good at something only for your younger sibling to come along and be even better.
I felt for him after Judy's "special one" tweet.

[Eve]

I really hope that he does well too, looking forward to watching it and hoping for a good final.

[jim360]

Or not, as the case may be. Doubles matches can be fairly close even if it's straight sets, though, as the odd point here or there can make a far bigger difference than in singles. It seems to me that it's harder to recover from a bad game in doubles -- tighter margins.

Well done for reaching the final, though!
