British No. 1 Andy Murray, above, and brother Jaimie are looking to maximise their global exposure.

Simon Fuller's 19 Entertainment, partnered with CAA Sports, signed world number four Murray and doubles-playing brother Jamie for representation across all their on and off court activity from March 2009.

"Jamie and I feel we've made big progress in the last couple of years on court," 21-year-old 2008 U.S. Open runner-up Andy said on his Web site.

"It's important that we have the very best team around us to take care of business while we concentrate 100% on our tennis. So this is a fantastic opportunity for us to work with Simon Fuller, 19 and CAA Sports.

"We now have an unbeatable combination of representatives with world-class stature and experience, and we are really excited by what we can achieve together".

Fuller's company, which is run from London, New York and LA, has partnered with CAA Sports, and already represents the world No. 3 Novak Djokovic.

American Idol creator Fuller commented: "I am very excited to be working with Andy and Jamie, two of the brightest British talents in global sports.

"Their determination to succeed has become a trademark in their game and their progress as professional sportsmen has taken them to the top in world tennis.

"19's innovative partnership with CAA Sports will provide them with an unparalleled level of global support".
