They were born 15 months apart but the careers of Scotland's Davis Cup stars Andy and Jamie Murray have always been intertwined.
Jamie Murray, the doubles specialist who has reached three Grand Slam finals, and Andy Murray, Britain's first men's singles champion at Wimbledon since Fred Perry and a US Open winner and Olympic gold medallist, learned to play together under the tutelage of their mother Judy in Dunblane.
Although their appearances as a double act have been somewhat sporadic, they have retained a close relationship throughout their professional adventures.
As HeraldScotland today publishes a major interview with Jamie Murray we raided our picture archive to chart the bond that has kept the boys together since their childhood days in Stirlingshire.
Forced smiles: The boys pose with their father Willie and mother Judy at home in Dunblane
Firm friends: A picture of happiness during a tennis camp
Maternal influence: Judy had a big impact on the brothers' tennis careers as well as their upbringing
Breaking through: the brothers teamed up against Greg Rusedski as Scotland beat England in the inaugural Aberdeen Cup at the AECC Arena in 2005
Prize guys: the pair shared in some tournament success during their formative years on tour
Making a splash: a pre-Wimbledon photo shoot with new sponsors Highland Spring
National service: on parade for Great Britain ahead of a 2011 Davis Cup tussle with Luxembourg
Strictly between us: Jamie shares doubles tactics with his partner during the same match at Braehead Arena in Glasgow
Casting a long shadow: the Murrays have walked tall on behalf of British and Scottish tennis for a decade
Happy at their work: with the rest of the Davis Cup team . . . plus backroom staff
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
