Jamie Murray and Mirnyi no longer doubles partners

Jamie Murray, the recent US Open mixed doubles runner-up with Liezel Huber, announced on BBC 5 Live radio, that his doubles partnership with Max Mirnyi of Belarus has come to an end.

The pair had a 15-17 record throughout the 2008 season, including beating then top ranked Bob and Mike Bryan to win the Delray Beach title. In four grand slam appearances this year, the duo advanced to the 3rd round at Wimbledon, while losing in the first round at the others.


Murray, who is currently playing doubles with Ross Hutchins this weekend against Austria at the Davis Cup competition held at Wimbledon, hints the partnership might become a regular thing in the 2009 season.

"We might play some tournaments next year,” said the 22-year-old Scot.

Murray has won four titles during his young career, three of which were with former partner Eric Butorac.

Mirnyi, who has won 34 career doubles titles including two US Open titles and two at Roland Garros in his successful career, has not announced whom he will team up with in 2009.

Thanks for the comment Justin.

Unfortunately for us, the pairing could not give the winning point in the double on Day 2. But you know what, I'm sure we will dominate in the singles and book our place in the final.

Yes, I will check out on your blog every now and then. And I hope you will do the same as I would love to hear view from a tennis expert like yourself.

By the way, how about if you allow Seba and myself to give some question for you in case if you're interviewing any of the Argentine players? I hope that's okay with you.

Have a nice day buddy!
