As he prepares to say goodbye to professional tennis, Andy Murray is teaming up with Emma Raducanu in a mixed doubles partnership at Wimbledon. The 37-year-old Scottish player, who won his first Grand Slam title at the 2012 US Open, recently had a back operation and opted to focus on the men’s doubles with his older brother Jamie.
Murray has also joined forces with fellow Briton Raducanu, who won the 2021 US Open, in what promises to be an exciting pairing. For Murray, playing mixed doubles has always been a dream come true. He previously played alongside Serena Williams at Wimbledon in 2019 and described it as a “once in a lifetime” opportunity. Now, playing alongside Raducanu on Centre Court is set to be another special occasion in the final weeks of his career.
For Raducanu, teaming up with Murray was always a childhood dream. She shared that she grew up watching him play and was excited about the possibility of playing alongside him on Centre Court. The two players are set to compete in their respective events while also teaming up for the mixed doubles tournament, offering fans an exciting partnership to watch at Wimbledon.
Murray mentioned that he anticipates his men’s doubles match with Jamie to take place on Thursday, with the mixed doubles set to start on Friday. Both players are eagerly looking forward to competing at one of the most prestigious tennis tournaments in the world and making history together on Centre Court.
