WIMBLEDON, England — After days of coy remarks about the possibility, it has been confirmed that Andy Murray and Serena Williams will be a team in the mixed doubles event at Wimbledon.
The two will sign in for the 48-team competition ahead of the 11 a.m. deadline on Wednesday morning, Matt Gentry, a spokesman for Murray, said on Tuesday.
Both players had health reasons to hesitate before adding to their Wimbledon agendas.
Murray, 32, is playing his third tournament since undergoing hip replacement surgery in January, and he is focusing on doubles to ease into his comeback.
