In what is likely his SW19 farewell, Andy Murray is bringing mixed magic to Wimbledon.
Former world No. 1 Murray will partner 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu in a British dream team for the Wimbledon mixed doubles draw.

The pair accepted a wild card into Wimbledon mixed doubles.
Two-time Olympic gold-medal champion Murray, who has been recovering from surgery to remove a cyst from his back 11 days ago, withdrew from the singles draw yesterday.
Murray is still entered into the men's doubles draw partnering older brother, and former doubles world No. 1 Jamie Murray.
Now, Wimbledon fans can look forward to former US Open champions Murray and Raducanu joining forces in what could be a very intriguing mixed doubles draw.
The champion pairing comes 12 years after Murray partnered left-hander Laura Robson to the mixed doubles gold-medal match at the 2012 London Olympics where they lost to Belarus' Victoria Azarenka and Max Mirnyi 2-6, 6-3, 10-8.
