Jamie Murray Awarded OBE
Brit honoured for achievements on and off the court
Jamie Murray, No. 2 in the Emirates ATP Doubles Rankings, was awarded an OBE (Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) in the Queen’s Birthday Honours for services to tennis and charity.
The 30-year-old Dunblane native has been at the top of his game in the past 12 months. The elder Murray teamed up with brother Andy Murray to help Great Britain claim the 2015 Davis Cup. In 2016, Murray secured the Australian Open title alongside Bruno Soares and reached No. 1 in the Emirates ATP Doubles Rankings for the first time.
Murray will next take to the court at the Aegon Championships at Queen’s Club, where he is slated to play doubles with Soares.
