Andy Murray to play brother Jamie in Montreal

Andy Murray will play against his brother Jamie for the first time at Tour level in a men's doubles match on Thursday at the Montreal Masters.

Andy Murray and doubles partner Leander Paes beat Jeremy Chardy and Kevin Anderson 6-3 6-1 to set-up a tie with the elder Murray sibling and his Australian partner John Peers.

Murray told reporters on Sunday: 'I've never played my brother since we became professionals. We obviously played a lot against each other as juniors in local competitions and around Great Britain.

"We've not played each other for a long time so it'll be nice in some ways, but also it's not easy."

Jamie Murray and John Peers are in excellent form, coming off the back of a win in the German Open in Hamburg and the pair also reached the Wimbledon final this year.

Many of the top men's names are playing in the doubles tournament this week in Montreal as they continue to seek court time ahead of the final Grand Slam of the season in New York.
