Andy Murray and Jamie Murray to team up at Wimbledon?

This is such a great story and, while some will worry about Andy Murray's physical ability to play doubles AND singles at Wimbledon, it's hard not to get excited by the prospect of seeing Murray in the singles and Murray & Murray in the doubles.

Jamie Murray may be a long way down in the world rankings, but if he can improve sufficiently, a wild card for the doubles tournament is a possibility.

Andy and Jamie Murray have recently shown their ability to play together by beating Greg Rusedski and David Sherwood in last months Aberdeen Cup.

Beyond that, Andy Murray is eyeing up the possibility of pairing with his older brother at a future Davis Cup.

Andrew Murray Launches LTA Iniative - Raw Tennis

If I understand Raw Tennis correctly, it's about combining, hitting a ball with a tennis racquet and skateboarding/snowboarding culture.

Either that or it's about using a guy standing on his head as a net.

I'm sure it'll do great things for upcoming GB tennis players and Andy Murray cerainly seems to think so. Andy may be unhappy with the way the LTA treated his brother, Jamie Murray, but he seemed pleased with this initiaitive by the LTA.

The link below shows a video of the launch and is worth watching for the LTA's, Rebecca Miskin, demonstrating her grasp of street slang.
