Jamie Murray pairs up with Martina Hingis for Wimbledon mixed doubles
Wednesday 5 July 2017 15:48, UK
Jamie Murray has turned to doubles queen Martina Hingis in an attempt to win a second Wimbledon crown in the mixed doubles.
Murray, a two-time Grand Slam winner in the men's doubles, was triumphant in the mixed doubles with Jelena Jankovic back in 2007 but has now teamed up with 36-year-old Hingis.
The Swiss is no stranger to success herself, having won 12 grand slam doubles titles, including three at Wimbledon.
The pair have been made top seeds at Wimbledon and receive a bye into the second round, with Murray currently number five in the men's doubles rankings and Hingis third in the women's.
In teaming up with Murray, Hingis ends a hugely successful pairing with Indian Leander Paes which brought four grand slam titles, including the 2015 Wimbledon crown.
The duo, though, were defeated in their most recent outing together when they suffered a first-round loss at the French Open.
