Murray's a Wimbledon winner
08 January 2007
They defeated fifth seeds Jonas Bjorkman and Alicia Molik 6-4 3-6 6-1 on Centre Court in the last match of the 2007 Championships to bring down the curtain on this year's Wimbledon in style with the most unlikeliest of successes.
Andy Murray was not even born when Jeremy Bates and Joe Durie lifted the mixed doubles title in 1987, 10 years after Virginia Wade's triumph in the women's singles.
Andy watched from the stands as Jamie emerged from the shadow of his younger brother, while the 22-year-old Jankovic also won the hearts of the Centre-Court crowd, who warmed to her beaming smile and unique charm before celebrating a famous victory.
As they lifted the trophy and £90,000 winners' cheque, they were left to reflect on Jankovic's initial resistance to the partnership.
