Murray knocked out of doubles in Toronto

hard luck Murray

good luck in singles

Ross should get himself a regular partner, not Andy, he's starting to go down the rankings.

He has got a regular partner, Jordan Kerr, though they haven't got a high enough ranking to get into the Master 1000 events.

I forgot about Jordan, I only really follow the doubles on here and it's always Andy that's playing with him.  I don't know how the rankings for doubles works. 

It seems to me that Andy uses the "old pals act". Namely when he wants a little practice and when Ross is available he teams up with him.

Rather selfish of Andy and it does not do Ross's career any favours.

Give it a rest, Ross Hutchins is not a sheep - if he wanted to play with someone else, he would.

Ross has also benefited a lot from Andy, through hitting and sharing coaching/expertise.

Andy Murray can do no right to some people on this forum.

Well said. 

I am suitably rebuked. My head is hanging down in shame.

Believe it or not, I desperately want Andy to be the successful player he needs to be. My point (badly expressed) was if Andy wishes to play doubles, he should practise with a regular partner and not just from time to time with Ross, his closest friend.

I think this is a win win situation. 

Ross would not have qualified playing with a regular partner so this was an opportunity (albeit small) for him to earn mega points and to watch and learn from the best.  This is a great way for him to improve and to expand his tennis awareness / repertoire of what is possible.

Andy on the other hand gets much needed practice including net play prior to his 2nd round match as he got a bye in the 1st round.
