Andy Murray and Emma Raducanu to play mixed doubles at Wimbledon | Tennis | Sport

After winning her first-round singles match on Monday, Raducanu praised the example set by Murray throughout his career. “I would say, like, the biggest standout thing for me was when he lost in the final here of Wimbledon, then came back a month later and won the Olympics,” she said.

“I think that to get through six really difficult rounds, then lose in the final, then to play a month later and be in the final again, your mind, without you realizing, just runs like deja vu scenarios. I made it to the final.”

And she will be able to learn more from the three-time Grand Slam champion when they join forces on the court after watching him practice for years. She added: “I think the biggest advice is just how he’s always taken care of his operations, how he manages his people. I haven’t really spoken to him so much. I think for me it’s just like watching him operate day to day, watching him be absolutely on it with everything. Even in practice now, he’s so on it to the minute.

“I think me, when I was a bit younger maybe, showing up 15 minutes before practice to do a few arm curls, swing my hand around and warm up, he’s there for an hour and a half doing treatment. He just sets really good examples.”
