Jamie Murray is returning to Wimbledon this year as the 's dedicated analysis expert, a new role for the retired player after a career that brought 39 titles and a mixed doubles crown in 2007. His move into the broadcast seat comes after he hung up his racket in April 2026, shifting one of GB's most decorated doubles names into a visible tennis voice.
Wimbledon and the 2007 title
Murray's Wimbledon record still starts with the title he won in 2007 with Jelena Jankovic. That made him the first British player to claim a Wimbledon title in 20 years, and it remains the cleanest marker of how far his game went on the biggest stages.
The job puts him back at Wimbledon in a different capacity, not as a competitor but as an analysis expert. For viewers, that means the broadcast will now lean on someone who has already won at the event and spent two decades inside elite tennis, rather than a generic commentator reading the same points everyone else can see.
Andy Murray and the 2008 split
The return also sits inside a family history that never stayed tidy. Jamie Murray and Andy Murray fell out in 2008 over a playing commitment when Andy withdrew from their first-round Davis Cup clash against Argentina at the 11th hour.
Jamie then paired with Ross Hutchins, and Team GB were knocked out by the eventual runners-up. After that dispute, the brothers did not speak to one another for a fortnight, leaving Judy Murray in an unenviable position while the row ran its course.
Jamie did not hide his view at the time. He said, “I think it's disappointing he chose not to come,” and added, “It kind of affects the way we feel about him.” He also said, “From what I've been reading he hasn't come out and said he's injured, it's more of a prevention thing.”
Judy Murray and the brothers
Andy pushed back, saying, “He obviously felt pretty strong about it and he's entitled to his opinion.” He also said, “I guess we'll have a chat about it and just discuss our feelings on Davis Cup,” before adding, “But it's probably not going to be the most fun conversation to have with your brother.”
That split did not last forever. Judy Murray and the brothers eventually managed to settle their differences, and the two now appear closer than ever. The sharp edge of 2008 still explains why this new Wimbledon role carries more than routine broadcasting value: Jamie is returning to the same event where his playing legacy and family history both still register.
What Jamie will do inside the set-up beyond that analysis brief is not spelled out, but the basic picture is clear. Wimbledon gets a former champion with 39 titles and a long view of the game, while Murray gets a platform that turns his own career into part of the coverage.
