Andy Murray says it "feels odd" that he and his brother Jamie are both in the Wimbledon doubles draw but are not playing together, as they contemplate a potential third-round meeting.

Murray is teaming up with Frenchman Pierre-Hugues Herbert in the men's doubles as he makes his return to Grand Slam tennis five months after undergoing hip-resurfacing surgery.

Murray said a practice session against fifth seeds Jean-Julien Rojer and Horia Tecau "didn't go amazingly well".

"I like him a lot, he's a nice guy, so I'm sure we'll have fun," he said.

"I just hope we play a little bit better when the tournament starts."
"But it would also be cool to play against each other and to have that memory. Although it would be difficult I'm sure, it would be nice if we both got there."
