Draw to be released on Wednesday
Talk about star power! Andy Murray and Serena Williams dropped a bombshell on Tuesday by announcing that they’ll compete together in the mixed doubles draw at Wimbledon.

They’ve created plenty of magic over the years at The All England Club, combining for nine singles titles. Serena also has six women’s doubles title with sister Venus Williams and won the mixed doubles title in 1998 (w/Mirnyi). Murray last played mixed doubles at this event with Kirsten Flipkens in 2006.

“We’re a lot alike on the court. I’ve always liked that about him,” said Williams. “His work ethic is off the charts. That's something I've always respected about him. His fitness, everything. To do what he's done in an era where there are so many other great male tennis players, so much competition, to rise above it, not many people have done it. There's so many things to be admired.”

Murray wasn’t originally sure if he would play mixed doubles after he revealed that several players turned him down. The admission sparked a social media frenzy, with everyone from Maria Sharapova to Billie Jean King offering to fill in.

The Brit also expressed concerns over a potential backlog of matches if bad weather impacted the schedule. But he joked last weekend that Williams would “be a pretty solid partner” and said that she’s “arguably the best player ever.”

The pair will be unseeded in the 48-team mixed doubles draw, which will be released on Wednesday.

Khachanov, Auger-Aliassime also in action
Top seed Novak Djokovic continues his quest for a fifth Wimbledon title when he faces Denis Kudla on Day 3 of The Championships. Fourth seed and last year's runner-up Kevin Anderson is also in second-round action against Janko Tipsarevic.
Djokovic produced a convincing win on Monday against German Philipp Kohlschreiber, who he lost to earlier this year at the BNP Paribas Open. The Serbian, competing in his 15th consecutive Wimbledon, hasn’t lost before the third round here since 2008. Kudla is at his best on this surface and will present a strong challenge for the World No. 1. The American reached the fourth round here in 2015 and recorded his lone ATP 500 semi-final last year at the NOVENTI OPEN.

Anderson’s dominant opening-round win over Frenchman Pierre-Hugues Herbert proved he’s fully recovered from the right elbow injury that has limited him to three tournaments since the Australian Open. The South African faces a tricky test against veteran Serbian Tipsarevic, who scored his first Wimbledon win in seven years by defeating Japanese Yoshihito Nishioka. Tipsarevic and Anderson are even in their FedEx ATP Head2Head rivalry at 1-1, but this will be their first match in six years.

Tenth-seeded Russian Karen Khachanov leads his FedEx ATP Head2Head with Feliciano Lopez 2-0, including a win this year in Indian Wells. They haven’t played on grass, though, and Lopez is at his best on this surface. The Spaniard completed a dream run last month by sweeping the singles (d. Simon) and doubles (w/Murray) titles at the Fever-Tree Championships. Khachanov cracked the Top 10 of the ATP Rankings after reaching his first Grand Slam quarter-final this year at Roland Garros.
Felix Auger-Aliassime takes on French qualifier Corentin Moutet in a #NextGenATP battle. The No. 19 seed scored his first Grand Slam main draw win on Monday over fellow Canadian Vasek Pospisil. He’s excelled in his first professional season on grass by finishing runner-up at the MercedesCup (l. to Berrettini) and advancing to the semi-finals at Queen’s Club. Moutet has climbed 60 spots in the ATP Rankings this season to his current career-high of No. 84 after impressive results that include a third-round showing at Roland Garros and two ATP Challenger Tour titles.
Other notable matches on Wednesday include No. 11 seed Daniil Medvedev of Russia squaring off with #NextGenATP Aussie Alexei Popyrin and No. 22 seed Stan Wawrinka of Switzerland facing American Reilly Opelka.
