Wimbledon doubles could be 'now or never' for Murrays
Written by I Dig SportsJamie Murray says he wants to play doubles at Wimbledon alongside his younger brother Andy because it looks to be "now or never" for the pair.
The siblings have never played together at their home Grand Slam and have discussed teaming up this year.
Two-time singles champion Andy Murray, 37, is considering retirement and says he does not plan to play much beyond this summer.
"It would obviously be really cool to do it," said 38-year-old Jamie.
"It's something that we probably wanted to do at some point in our career and maybe now is the only opportunity to do it. So maybe it's a case of now or never."
Jamie Murray has won two mixed doubles title at the All England Club and was a beaten finalist in the men's doubles in 2015. Winning the men's doubles title is his biggest career goal.
Andy Murray will be focusing on the singles at SW19 and may decide he is unable to play the doubles as well in what could be his farewell appearance.
In 2013, he became the first Briton to win the Wimbledon men's singles title since Fred Perry in 1936.
"I asked [Andy] if he wanted to play and it's not necessarily an easy decision for him to commit to playing the doubles," added Jamie, who won the Australian Open and US Open men's doubles titles in 2016.
"He knows obviously I want to play and do my best and play as long as we can.
"I guess he needs to figure out if it's going to be worth it, or how much it might interfere with what he wants to do in the singles and how he's feeling about his game and physically."
On Sunday, Jamie Murray and New Zealander Michael Venus were knocked out of the French Open men's doubles in the second round with defeat by French duo Gregoire Barrere and Lucas Pouille.
Murray and Venus, seeded 13th, squandered three set points in the second-set tie-break before Barrere and Pouille closed out a 6-4 7-6 (8-6) win.
