Murray will play men’s doubles alongside his older brother, Jamie, and has now chosen to partner fellow Briton Raducanu.
He said after practice on Tuesday and before announcing he would partner Raducanu, that “playing doubles is a slightly different game physically and I’m looking forward to it.”
Murray once partnered with Serena Williams in the 2019 Wimbledon mixed doubles. At that time he called it a once in a lifetime opportunity. 4s556x
Playing alongside 2021 US Open champion Raducanu will be another special opportunity in the final weeks of his career.
Meanwhile Raducanu said partnering Murray in the Wimbledon mixed doubles had always been his childhood dream.
“Wimbledon is Andy Murray on Center Court,” said Raducanu.
