When are Andy Murray and Emma Raducanu playing Wimbledon? Start time and TV channel for mixed doubles today
Andy Murray steps out onto a Wimbledon court for potentially the final time as he teams up with Emma Raducanu in a blockbuster mixed doubles partnership this evening.
The 37-year-old’s career was celebrated in an emotional ceremony on Thursday evening, following a first-round exit in the men’s doubles with brother Jamie.
After failing to recover from back surgery in time to feature in the singles, Murray made the decision to add the mixed doubles to his schedule to prolong the Wimbledon farewell, reaching out to Raducanu to see if she would be interested. The 21-year-old said it took her “ten seconds” to reply and say yes.
Raducanu has enjoyed a brilliant first week at SW19 so far, breezing into the fourth round after a dominant win over Maria Sakkari in the third round on Friday.
El Salvador’s Marcelo Arevalo and China’s Shuai Zhang are the opponents for the British pairing, on what promises to be a special night regardless of the result.

The start time really depends on the length of the earlier matches, with play beginning at 1pm BST on Court One. Murray and Raducanu could potentially take to the court at around 7:30pm.
