Andy Murray jokes he was pleased that Emma Raducanu did not leave him waiting on an answer when he approached her last night about playing in the mixed doubles together.
And he reveals how 'Murracanu' almost came to fruition at Wimbledon in 2021.
"We’d spoken about it during the Covid year but obviously both of us were doing quite well in the singles and it didn’t happen," he says.
"Last night I messaged her coach and asked if he thought it might be something she’d be up for doing.
"He said it was worth asking, so I did. It was quite late yesterday evening when I sent the message, it would have been after 9pm so I was a bit worried she might have been in bed.
"But I got a quick reply. She said: ‘Yeah, let’s do it’. That was it."
