“We got off to a bit of a slow start, especially me with my serve, I was struggling”. But mainly played with loads of different people. “I’ve spent most of my life that way”, he said.
It was Erlich’s first Wimbledon semi for 12 years, and, at age 38, the opportunity is unlikely to come again. “Thankfully it’s worked out and we’re here”. In the event, he played well in the early stages, but was clearly in pain. There’s been no falling out; the 2013 champion believes he is a jinx while Jamie prefers to leave the court hopping to mum Judy and watch games on the TV. “He said, ‘What’s your plans after the Aussie?'”, Peers said. And, in his spare time, he could play tennis? “This run gave me a strong feeling that I’ve still got it and the incentive to finish the year strongly”, he says. “It kind of always felt we were going to find a way if we kind of kept at it”.
Murray won the mixed doubles in 2007 with Serbian Jelena Jankovic, when the pair split prize money of £90,000, and began playing with Peers two-and-a-half years ago.
British number one tennis star Andy Murray has revealed that he tends to avoid watching his brother Jamie’s matches on TV due to fear that he’ll lose.
“It was a great result for us”, Murray said.
However, unfortunately for the elder of the Murray brothers, it was Beckham who stole the show, and then a few.

“We’re in a Wimbledon final, and it’s been a good couple of weeks”. We’re getting the chance to do that.
