This photo is of Jamie training at Queens club at the start of 2005. Jamie's 2004 season was very long as he travelled to the Middle East for several futures events in December 2004. Jamie chose to take the whole of January off to work on his fitness and on his game and began his season in Croatia in mid-February.

In August 2005, Jamie took some time out from training to promote the new Scottish tennis training centre.
