Andy and Jamie Murray are both competing this week at the penultimate ATP Tour event of 2008, the Paris Masters, with only the Shanghai Masters Cup remaining next month.
Andy will be attempting to win his third successive Masters title after victories in Cincinnati and Madrid which, along with wins in Doha, Marseille and St Petersburg, have taken his ATP title haul to five for the year. After gaining a bye in the opening round, the world No 4 will meet American Sam Querry in the last 32.
Jamie will be looking to end his year on a high as he teams up with Czech Republic’s Pavel Vizner in the doubles. The unseeded pair will face the Scot’s former partner Max Mirnyi of Belarus and Marin Cilic of Croatia.
