I feel sorry for his brother. Jamie has won 7 Grand slam doubles championships and many others but all the attention will go to Andy Murray whose ego won’t allow him to say he’s retiring and then just go. No he wants the big fuss, never mind whoever was going to play doubles with Jamie losing out! Plus of course if they win all the kudos will be Andy wins his last Wimbledon. JMHO

Or am I being too harsh on him?
 
Hopefully just one day of Murray Murray Murray for the next couple of weeks until Paris.

If he'd played it'd be going on & on everyday until he lost.

Jamie is a big boy, i'm sure he's thrilled to be playing with his brother at Wimbledon and is more than capable of saying he wants to play with another doubles specialist instead.

And as it now turns out, as disappointed as he will be for Andy that he isn't going to get another crack at the singles, to be part of his brothers farewell will be a wonderful moment for them both.

A little bit harsh I think. His world rankings have actually been improving up until this year, into the 30s at one point, and he wanted to go out at Wimbledon while he still had some fight left in him, which he has deserved in my view. Likely to be his last match and his brother probably offered him the chance.
