World No. 9 Andy Murray teamed up with brother Jamie Murray for a 7-6(4), 6-2 win over Frenchmen Richard Gasquet and Nicolas Mahut in first round doubles action, Tuesday at the Rogers Masters in Toronto.
The Murray brothers, who will play for Great Britain at the Beijing Olympics, are making their ninth appearance together in ATP action and their first since last October at the BNP Paribas Masters. They achieved their best result in 2006 at Bangkok, where they finished as runners-up to Jonathan Erlich and Andy Ram.
They next face a challenging second round match against No. 2 seeds and Stanford ATP Doubles Race leaders Daniel Nestor and Nenad Zimonjic, who are playing together for the first time since clinching the Wimbledon title. Nestor and Zimonjic have reached five consecutive finals.
In the only other doubles match Tuesday, the French-Russian duo of Paul-Henri Mathieu and Mikhail Youzhny made their partnership debut by easing past World No. 5 David Ferrer and partner Jarkko Nieminen 6-2, 6-2 in 53 minutes.
Mathieu and Youzhny will confront No. 6 seeds and reigning US Open champions Simon Aspelin and Julian Knowle for a spot in the quarterfinals.
