MELBOURNE, Australia — Jamie Murray is leaving Melbourne with one Australian Open trophy for his family after capturing the men's doubles title with partner Bruno Soares in a match ending early Sunday morning.
It's now up to his brother, Andy, to add a second.
Murray and Soares defeated the oldest team to reach a Grand Slam final in the Open era, Daniel Nestor and Radek Stepanek, 2-6, 6-4, 7-5 for the first major title in either of their careers.
Murray's brother, Andy, plays for the men's singles title on Sunday night against Novak Djokovic. They are the first brothers to reach the finals in the men's singles and doubles at a Grand Slam event in the Open era.
