Andy Murray will team up with fellow Briton Emma Raducanu in the Wimbledon mixed doubles tournament after the pair were awarded a wildcard, organisers said yesterday.
Twice singles champion Murray (37) is playing in his final Wimbledon but pulled out of his singles opener against Czech Tomas Machac on Tuesday due to a back problem.
Murray is also competing in the men’s doubles with his brother Jamie and they face Australians Rinky Hijikata and John Peers in the first round today.
Former US Open champion Raducanu (21) beat Renata Zarazua in her singles opener and was due to face Elise Mertens yesterday.
Murray last played in the grasscourt Grand Slam’s mixed doubles tournament in 2019 when he teamed up with American Serena Williams and they reached the third round.
Three-times Grand Slam champion Murray, who resurrected his career after having hip-resurfacing surgery in 2019, previously said that he was unlikely to continue his career beyond this year and could bow out at the Olympics in Paris. — Reuters.
