British doubles No.1 Jamie Murray has been invited to appear at this week’s BlackRock Masters Tennis at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
The world No.28, who shot to fame at Wimbledon in 2007 when he won the mixed doubles title with Jelena Jankovic, will play three doubles matches at the six-day event.
The 22-year-old brother of world No.4 Andy will play alongside and against legends Henri Leconte, Mansour Bahrami, Peter Fleming, Mark Woodforde and Anders Jarryd.
“I’m thrilled to have been asked to play,” said Murray. “It is an incredible venue and a real treat to be given the chance to play alongside some of the great legends of the game.”
The young Scot was recently spotted by the Tennishead team busily preparing for his last tournament of the year. Our eagle-eyed Publisher clocked Murray buying his groceries in the Wimbledon branch of Sainsbury’s.
The event, which runs from Tuesday December 2 to Sunday December 9, features Pete Sampras, Stefan Edberg, John McEnroe, Greg Rusedski, Pat Cash, Guy Forget, Cedric Pioline and Jeremy Bates in the singles draw.
