Andy Murray reveals aim to pair up with Emma Raducanu at Wimbledon

Andy Murray says he hopes he can pair up with teenage sensation Emma Raducanu in the mixed-doubles at Wimbledon this year.

The Scot, 35, has regularly featured in the doubles events during the latter part of his career, winning at Queen’s alongside Feliciano Lopez back in 2019 and famously partnering Serena Williams at SW19.

This year, Murray has targeted a strong showing at the All England Club and has already turned his attentions to the grass-court season after withdrawing from the French Open.

The three-time grand slam winner is playing at the Surbiton Trophy, a Challenger event, this week as he looks to hone his game on the grass.

He said: ‘I have high expectations of myself and lofty goals for the coming weeks, which I discuss with my team regularly.

‘I’m not going to share them now, but I’ve trained hard, I feel grass is my best surface and I’ve prepared as best as I can.
