Fleming: Jamie a great story Sky Sports tennis pundit Peter Fleming hails Jamie Murrays achievement But the downside was their struggle to close out the biggest matches - such as the finals of Wimbledon and the US Open. They were the bridesmaid on both occasions as well as a remarkable 10 times on the Tour, including six times in 2015 alone.On the decision to split with Peers, Murray said: Its kind of mutual. I think were both looking to do something else. Thats it. Thats life. We take the decision and we move on. Maybe it will turn out to be a good decision, maybe it will turn out to be a bad decision. I dont know. Thats what weve come to. We look ahead now and look forward to starting new partnerships with new players.Paul Hanley Murray [left] and Paul Hanley reached the final in Montpellier Before Peers, Murray played with 15 different partners in 2012 and enjoyed a brief spell alongside Australian Hanley, who reached the 2005 Wimbledon and 2011 Australian Open finals in mixed doubles.The pair reached the final in Montpellier that year, but lost out in two tight sets to experienced French duo Nicolas Mahut and Edouard Roger-Vasselin.Andre Sa Andre Sa won the Moselle Open with Murray Murray and Brazilian partner Sa won their debut tournament with victory at the Moselle Open in Metz five years ago - but that was as good as things got.Sa had previously enjoyed success with the man Murray toppled to become world No 1 Marcelo Melo - winning five titles together.Max Mirnyi Giant Belarussian Max Mirnyi enjoyed Delray Beach success with Jamie Murray clinched his first crown with his Belarussian partner Mirnyi at the Delray Beach International in 2008, seeing off the challenge of top seeds Bob and Mike Bryan in three sets.It was so important to have won Delray, even though its not a top tier tournament, said Mirnyi. But to have beaten the Bryans in the final, that meant so much to both of us, and to the rest the field out there. We made a big statement.The partnership soon ran into trouble after a series of first-round defeats in the autumn and they abandoned their plans of striking up a regular partnership.Eric Butorac Murray [left] and Eric Butorac pose for a picture at Surbiton Tennis Club Murray lost out to the brilliant Bryan brothers at the LA Open in 2006 playing alongside American southpaw Eric Booty Butorac, but the understanding between the pair looked to be a winning combination.A year later the US-Scots pair claimed their first doubles title in a Challenger event in Dallas before going on to claim three tournament wins in San Jose, Memphis and Nottingham.Despite the success, the partnership came to an abrupt end and Murrays form went into a sharp decline, winning only four titles in the next five years.Andy Murray Andy Murray [left] and Jamie were victorious in Valencia Sibling rivalries are firmly put to one side when it comes to team tennis, as the Bryan brothers have proven.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Alabama breezed through most of its early schedule with lopsided wins and one big comeback.Now, the top-ranked Crimson Tide enters the meat of its schedule with three straight games against Top 20 teams, two of them on the road. The stretch begins Saturday at No. 16 Arkansas, with the Tide then going to No. 9 Tennessee before a home game with No. 8 Texas A&M.The next three weeks will be a grinder, center Bradley Bozeman said Monday.A grinder, indeed. Alabama (5-0, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) has been tested only once this season, though its taken a quarter or so to get going in several games.That lone challenge, incidentally, came in the only SEC road game so far. Thats when Alabama overcame a 24-3 deficit and a late charge to edge No. 14 Mississippi snare a 48-43 and end a two-year losing streak to the Rebels. Three of the next four are road games, closing with a trip to LSU.`Bama stampeded its only other ranked opponent, then-No. 20 Southern California, 52-6 in the opener at Arlington, Texas. Besides Ole Miss, the Tide has won the other four games by an average of 37.5 points and leads the SEC in scoring offense while ranking second in scoring defense. With seven touchdowns, Alabamas special teams and defense have actually outscored three of the first five opponents.That came against teams like Kent State and Western Kentucky, though. The offense figures to improve along the way with three key freshmen -- quarterback Jalen Hurts, tailback Joshua Jacobs and right tackle Jonah Williams -- banking some experience. Jacobs started in place of an injured Damien Harris (ankle) against Kentucky and rushed for 100 yards.Williams has started every game and Hurts has so clearly solidified the starting job that opening-game starter Blake Barnett left the team and withdrew from school last week.ddddddddddddNow comes the toughest part of the schedule, though. After these four games, Alabama faces struggling SEC West opponents Mississippi State and Auburn and FCS team Chattanooga.It really is nothing new since the Tide has faced 53 Top 25 teams since the start of the 2008 season and beaten 41 of them, a .773 winning percentage.Pretty much every year we have a long SEC stretch, so Im pretty used to it now, defensive end Dalvin Tomlinson said.Tide players are also accustomed to tuning out the hype and adhering to Tide coach Nick Sabans message about staying grounded and not being satisfied with your performance.There is room for improvement.The passing game wasnt clicking in the first half against Kentucky. Botched execution also led to a fumble when tailback Bo Scarbrough bumped the arm of quarterback Jalen Hurts.I think our team is making progress, but I think we need to continue to do that and continue to work because every week in the SEC youve got a real challenge and a real test and that certainly wont be any different playing on the road this weekend against Arkansas, Saban said.NOTE: Wide receiver ArDarius Stewart is returning to practice after missing the past two games with a knee injury sustained against Mississippi. Were hopeful that hell be able to get through the week and make the kind of progress he needs to be able to contribute in this game, Saban said. ' ' '
