Jamie Murray became the first Briton for 20 years to win a senior title at Wimbledon when he partnered Serbia's Jelena Jankovic to the mixed doubles title in 2007.
It was a remarkable victory for the Scot, who has spent the last couple of years being referred to as Andy Murray's big brother. However, for those in the know, it perhaps wasn't such a major surprise.
The RBS-sponsored player was already highly regarded as a doubles player and entered the world's top 30 after reaching the last-16 of the men's doubles at Wimbledon with Eric Butorac. Together, the Scottish-American duo had previously won three doubles titles on the ATP Tour.
Having made his Davis Cup debut in a win over the Netherlands in 2007 (partnering veteran Greg Rusedski), Jamie teamed up with another former British number one, Tim Henman, for a victory over Croatia later in the year.
He split with Butorac after the 2007 US Open and has since teamed up with Belarusian Max Mirnyi - a four-time Grand Slam winner.
Nicknamed 'Stretch' for his long reach on court, left-hander Jamie is also a three-handicap golfer - playing right-handed.
