New Zealand’s top ranked doubles player Michael Venus (pictured ) is teaming up with former world number one Jamie Murray for the 2023 tennis season.

The world No16 has split with his German partner Tim Puetz after 18 months together.

The pair were alternates at the last two ATP World Tour Finals in Turin but Venus says their results weren’t good enough in the back end of the season.
