Jamie such a grass act

-

JAMIE MURRAY targeted his first Wimbledon men’s doubles title after winning the Aegon Championsh­ips with Bruno Soares.

Murray, older brother of Andy, and the Brazilian won 11 points to claim their rain-delayed semi-final – and then stayed on Centre Court to beat French duo Julien Benneteau and Edouard Roger-Vasselin 6-2 6-3.

Murray and his Brazilian partner go into Wimbledon in red-hot form after also winning on grass in Stuttgart last week.

The Scot, who won the mixed doubles title at SW19 in 2007, said: “We couldn’t ask for more. It was sad Andy went out early but it is my chance for a change.”
