LONDON: Former world number one Andy Murray conceded on Saturday it will be tough to face his brother Jamie should they play each other in the third round of the men's doubles at Wimbledon.

Murray, though, is more focussed on coming through Wimbledon first - an arena where he won two of his three Grand Slam singles titles and the first of his two Olympic singles crowns."I mean, if we play each other, it would be difficult in some respects," said Murray."At the same time I'd rather be on the same side of the net with him.

Jamie has gone on to win two Grand Slam doubles titles and he and his younger brother teamed up to win the Davis Cup in 2015. "So having Jamie to play against and compete against up until we were kind of 14, 15, was obviously a big help."There's a lot of transferrable skills from sport to sport.
