Serena and Murray lead stacked mixed draw at Wimbledon

Published Jul 03, 2019

Mixed doubles is alive and well at Wimbledon. The team that's drawing most of the attention is Andy Murray and Serena Williams, understandably.

The world is waiting in eager anticipation to see the two champions take the court. Serena won the mixed title at Wimbledon in 1998.

They're not the only intriguing team in the loaded draw. Venus Williams is teaming up with Frances Tiafoe. Venus lost her singles opener to Cori Gauff, while Tiafoe fell in five sets to Fabio Fognini. Murray's brother Jamie is playing with Bethanie Mattek-Sands; the two former No. 1s are unseeded since Mattek-Sands is only just returning from another  knee surgery.

Venus and Tiafoe open against British wild cards Scott Clayton and Sarah Beth Grey, while Serena and Murray will take on Alexa Guarachi and Andreas Mies.

Venus also last won a mixed title in 1998. That year she and her sister split the mixed Slams with Venus winning the Australian Open and Roland Garros, and Serena winning Wimbledon and the US Open.

Nick Kyrgios will play with Desirae Krawczyk, Gauff is teaming with Jay Clarke, Nicolas Mahut is partnering with Alize Cornet and Su-Wei Hsieh is sharing the court with her brother Cheng-Peng Hsieh.

The top seeds are Nicole Melichar and Bruno Soares.
