Battle of the Brits Gets Under Way
The Murray brothers had mixed fortunes as they took to the courts in the Schroders Battle of the Brits round robin event aimed at raising funds for the NHS.
Live coverage and replays of the Battle of the Brits are shown on Amazon Prime.
Day 1
In the ‘Paul Hutchins’ Doubles Group, first up was Jamie Murray and Neil Skupski who were hot favourites to win the event came unstuck against Cameron Norrie and Liam Broady 3-6, 7-5, 11-9.
Andy Murray, sporting a lockdown beard, took on Liam Broady in the first singles and though the 6-2, 6-2 scoreline in favour of the 2 times Wimbledon champion said otherwise, Broady put together some well-made points.
