Jamie Murray has officially closed the book on a remarkable 22-year professional tennis career. The Scottish doubles specialist, who soared to world number one and captured seven Grand Slam titles, announced his retirement on social media, capping off a journey that also included helping Great Britain secure its first Davis Cup victory in 79 years.

While his brother Andy often grabs the singles headlines, Jamie carved out his own legendary status in the doubles arena. His career was defined by brilliant partnerships, and in a revealing moment, he once named his all-time favorite teammate—and it wasn't his brother.

During an interview on TalkSPORT, Murray was asked to pick his best-ever doubles partner. Without hesitation, he chose the iconic Martina Hingis. "Hingis for me was a different level," Murray stated. "Her level of ability and skill set was crazy. Also, whenever things got close or edgy, she would say 'I’m going to do this' and she would deliver."

He praised her champion's mentality, noting how she made the game look effortless—a hallmark of the sport's greats. Their chemistry was undeniable; together, they won back-to-back Grand Slam titles at Wimbledon and the US Open in 2017, a peak moment in Murray's storied career.

Across 13 Grand Slam finals in doubles and mixed doubles, Murray collaborated with a who's who of tennis talent, including Bruno Soares, Victoria Azarenka, and Bethanie Mattek-Sands. While Soares was his sole men's doubles partner to clinch a major title, Murray truly flourished in mixed doubles, securing five Grand Slam crowns, including two memorable victories at Wimbledon.

Jamie Murray's retirement marks the end of an era for a player whose strategic brilliance and elite partnerships brought a unique flair to the doubles game, leaving a legacy of success that will inspire tennis fans and aspiring players for years to come.
