BIG BROTHER JAMIE LANDS ANOTHER TITLE
JAMIE MURRAY and partner Bruno Soares have won the Mercedes Cup doubles title in Stuttgart, beating Oliver Marach and Mate Pavic in the final. The Scottish-Brazilian partnership, seeded second, prevailed 6-7, 7-5, 10-5 against the No 4 seeds. It is the pair’s second title this year after February’s success in Acapulco, Mexico, and a 25th tour-level championship victory for Soares. The Brazilian said: ‘Twenty-five is amazing. Hopefully I can make it to 50.’ Murray now has 18 titles to his name. The 31-year-old said: ‘We had a few close losses this year so it was nice to see it through and get another trophy.’ Murray and Soares won the Australian Open and US Open last year, finishing the season at the top of the world rankings.
