TOKYO 2011, DOUBLES FINAL: ** It's a Murray Double in Tokyo ** Winners - 6'1, 6'4

[Sallydaisy]

The Murrays take on the Czech-Slovak pairing of Cermak-Polasek in the Final of the Mens Doubles in Tokyo.

Andy first has to play a Singles Final against Rafael Nadal and the OOP states 'minimal rest' for him before returning to the court for this match. I don't remember seeing that before; suitable rest is usually about an hour and a half or the length of another match (as it was today) but it depends on the player concerned. Some guys want to get out there quicker rather than 'cool down' too much. If Andy wins the Singles he'll have to do pressers and other PR stuff so he'd probably get an hour?

So, an action packed Sunday morning of Murray tennis - brilliant!!!

[RoastLamb]

Wonder if they'll show this on tennistv. Probs not.

[JAMES4578]

Fab the Two Murrays have reached another final and though have it tough will hopefully have a shot here, will likely have to ls again though! Of course Andy is feeling after the singles final which could be a lengthy affair will be a factor.

[Nina]

Good Luck to the Muzzahs. Should think Andy was pretty exhausted after that final, but adrenalin must be running pretty high.
Hope it goes well for them., Have we heard yet what time its starting ?

[ChrisMac]

Any idea what time the doubles will start?

[pabbers]

Will there be a livescore?

[greatunclebulgaria]

I was assuming there would be a livescore and have it open but nothing yet

[pabbers]

I was assuming there would be a livescore and have it open but nothing yet

Thanks. Yes found a betting site that says it's delayed so the minimal rest is stretching out to quite a decent amount of time.

[Aussie Andy]

Missed the singles final, but glad to hear Andy's won, now to follow the doubles. Hope to see Andy with double trophies! :trophy::trophy::excited::yahoo:

[karanga]

Double congratulations Jamie and Andy.

What a great day for the Murray family. Judy will be so proud of her boys. :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :trophy: :party:

[galagirl]

Sure to help Jamie's ranking points?

[Joyce]

What a gr8 morning. Delighted for Jamie, Andy - & all their family & fans!!

[Sallydaisy]

The win should take Jamie up into the top 25 and a career high.
however, it'll be temporary because he's defending 500 points from Valencia last year so could do with another good 3 or 4 weeks to bag points.

Jamie is playing in Moscow next week partnering Julien Benneteau.

[MurrayAOne]

Brilliant win boys. What a day!!!!

[Aya]

Well done Jamie and Andy. What a superb week. Onwards and upwards!

[pabbers]

Fantastic win!
