TIL Desk Sports/ Former Wimbledon singles champions Andy Murray and Serena Williams will team up for the 2019 Wimbledon mixed doubles event. The Murray-Williams partnership came just before the closing time of the mixed doubles draw on Wednesday and was confirmed by the 32-year-old Scottish player’s representative.
The 23-Grand Slam winner Williams decided to join Murray, telling reporters after winning her first-round singles match at Wimbledon: “If you guys really want it, then maybe I will do it.” Murray and Williams are set to square off against Germany’s Andreas Mies and Chile’s Alexa Guarachi in the first round of the tournament.
Meanwhile, the former world No.1 Murray will pair up with Frenchman Pierre-Hugues Herbert in the men’s doubles. After Wimbledon, Murray may consider a singles return at the US Open, the last Grand Slam of the season, if he regains his form following a right hip surgery. Murray first would have to compete at Cincinnati, a US Open tune-up event that he won twice in 2008 and 2011.
