Jamie Murray is playing in the Aberdeen Cup but I havn't seen him play anywhere else, has anyone else?

Also, has anyone heard what Jane O'Donoghue is doing? Shes the British number 2 and I would have thought she would be playing in the Aberdeen cup not Katie O'Brian.

Jamie does quite a few Futures events all around the country. his last was in nottingham, i think...

and i think hes won quite a few doubles events this year as well as playing singles....

indeedy - pretty good at doubles too so i hear...

so andy and jamie will have a good chance against rusedski and whoever his doubles partner is (David Sherwood i think?), at the Aberdeen cup?

Just found this about jaime on another website - hes in canada at the mo, trying to break through into the singles on the futures circuit.

"He's had a poor year in singles and a brilliant year in doubles. According to his coach, Murray's singles game is affected by a weak forehand and a lack of mobility from the baseline which counteracts a good serve. These are traits that reasonable singles players can exploit quite easily as although Jamie is a serve-volleyer his return game is quite poor. Jamie's coach says that his net game is very strong as he is a graceful mover and has good hands.

In doubles, weak forehands and lack of baseline mobility are not so important and Colin Fleming has been trying to persuade Jamie to drop singles and to move up to challenger level doubles with him. At the moment Jamie still wants to try and make it as a singles player though currently his prospects look bleak."
