2007 Wimbledon mixed double champion Jamie said: "It's weird to not get really pumped up when you play and every time you look down the other side of the net, that's your brother there."

"I think Andy and I did a pretty good job of dealing with the situation, which was obviously not that natural. We're happy to win."

His younger brother said the match was "awkward."
