Jamie Murray and his mixed doubles partner Bethanie Mattek-Sands made history this weekend at the US Open by becoming the first team in 37 years to win back-to-back mixed doubles titles. A feat the pair achieved easily on Saturday afternoon in Arthur Ashe stadium when they defeated the top seeds in straight sets.
It’s safe to say that the US Open is a special place for Jamie Murray. This year’s mixed doubles win makes it the 4th consecutive year he’s walked away with a trophy from Flushing Meadows. After winning the Men’s Doubles in 2016 he went on to claim a Mixed Doubles victory in 2017, 2018 and now in 2019. In another impressive stat his latest win makes him the first man in 60 years to win 3 straight US Open mixed doubles titles.
It was a positive 2 weeks in New York for Jamie in the Men’s doubles also. He and his new partner (fellow Brit Neal Skupski) made it as far as the Semi-Finals before being defeated by the top seeds. The pair seem to have found their momentum as team, something which is such a huge part of the doubles game and Jamie acknowledges ‘bodes well for them going forward.’
