This is the first time Andy and Emma will play together at Wimbledon, with the male player explaining how their partnership came about.

Andy disclosed to reporters how he and Emma got together, saying: "I chatted a little bit with my team about it, saying: 'So what is it exactly you want to try and get out of that?’

"And firstly, I want to be competitive in the matches and then, I guess, playing with another Brit as well was going to be something that would be nice. And she's obviously one of the top British players and she would have been top of the list.

"I texted her last night. Thankfully I got quite a quick reply. 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 be in bed but, yeah, I got a quick reply. She said: ‘Yeah let's do this!'"

Speaking about teaming up with the 2013 and 2016 Wimbledon champion, Emma has explained her excitement at playing alongside Andy.

She revealed: "My doubles record isn't exactly the longest or most vast but I couldn't say no. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity.

"For me it's a gift and an honour that he asked me; a moment that I could never say no to. I'm super excited to be on the mixed doubles court and I just hope that I can learn a thing or two about coming to the net!"

Emma continued: "For me, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I think some things are bigger than just tennis.

"At the end of my life, at the end of my career when I'm like 70 years old, I know I'm going to have that memory of playing Wimbledon with Andy Murray in a home slam. For me, it was an honour to be asked."
