The 37-year-old, who decided against singles following back surgery last weekend, said: “I chatted a bit with my team about it and they said, ‘What exactly are you trying to get out of it?’ “Firstly we want to be competitive in the matches, and then playing with another Brit was going to be something that would be nice, and she’s obviously one of the top British players and she would have been top of the list.” Raducanu was quick to accept the proposition. She said, ‘Yeah, let’s do it’.” Raducanu has only played one tour-level doubles match in her career and this will be her grand slam debut but Murray believes she is well suited to the format. And, when she’s getting into exchanges at the back of the court, she’ll be really good.” Speaking after reaching the third round of the singles, Raducanu said: “My doubles record isn’t exactly the longest but I couldn’t say no, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and a dream of mine since I was a young girl watching the Olympics. I’m just super excited to be on the mixed doubles court and hopefully learn a thing or two about come to the net or something.” Murray and Raducanu will play El Salvador’s Marcelo Arevalo and Zhang Shuai of China in the first round on Friday or Saturday, with his first-round men’s doubles clash scheduled on Centre Court on Thursday.
