‘Hopefully It Will Happen’- Emma Raducanu Confident of a Potential Team Up With Legendary Compatriot Andy Murray

Emma Raducanu has had a rough start of the year, and she is off to start her season on the grass court. She has been gearing up well for the tournament. Moreover, on the clay court too, she could not do well leading to her stagnant performance.

Raducanu is planning to partner up with Andy Murray for the mixed doubles. They both have considered partnering up for the doubles before also and now Raducanu has dropped hints about their collaboration.

Andy Murray, too, had made it clear that the idea of the two players playing mixed doubles had surfaced last year. But because both of them were doing well in singles, it got delayed.

He had said, “I would love to play with Emma at some stage. I’m sure we will both focus on having good runs in the singles, but yeah, I’d love to do that.”
