WIMBLEDON, England — Andy Murray had a tough couple of days at his local tennis club. On Friday he lost in a semifinal in men’s singles to Roger Federer on Wimbledon’s Centre Court, and on Saturday he watched from the seats of the same court as his older brother, Jamie, lost in the doubles final.
With his brother playing in his first men’s doubles final, Andy Murray would never have offered the opposition any advice before the match. But afterward, despite his disappointment, he was more than willing to offer some tips to the winning pair.
Murray, the 2013 singles champion, told his friend Jean-Julien Rojer, who along with Horia Tecau had just beaten Jamie Murray and John Peers by 7-6 (5), 6-4, 6-4, that it was difficult for him to watch the match because his brother was losing.
