Jamie Murray beats Andy Murray in Montreal doubles

Doubles specialist Jamie Murray and Australian John Peers edged Scotsman Andy Murray and Indian Leander Paes 6-4 7-6(9).

Andy, who is third in the singles world ranking, likes to play doubles occasionally but does not particularly enjoy playing his brother, whose livelihood depends on doubles.

"It's not ideal, not a situation I want to be in all of the time," Andy told reporters after the brothers met competitively for the first time.

"Doubles is Jamie's career. I support him every single week. I watch all of his matches online. I'm always desperate for him to win.

"I want to play well for Leander too. It's tricky."

Andy's doubles defeat came just a few hours after he easily won his third-round singles match against Gilles Muller in straight sets, 6-3 6-2.

The Murray brothers carried Britain into the Davis Cup semi-finals, teaming up in the doubles to beat France pair Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Nicolas Mahut at Queen's in July, while Andy won both his singles rubbers.
