JAKARTA - British tennis legend John Lloyd likes the couple Andy Murray and Emma Raducanu who will appear in the Wimbledon 2024 mixed doubles.

The winner of two mixed doubles titles Wimbledon (1983 and 1984) with Wendy totaling Murray and Raducanu have the potential to win titles.

Moreover, Raducanu, who is also from England, really idolizes Murray. Not to mention the fact that Murray made Wimbledon 2024 the last before retiring.

Both of them will clearly play optimally in order to give a beautiful gift to Murray as well as a dream come true for Raducanu.

"I like it. I don't believe it. It's very good. To bring the two together, he (Raducanu) idolizes Andy."

"Now he has the opportunity to play with him in his last tournament. How special is that?" said Lloyd.

Lloyd further said that Murray's double decision was the right choice.

As is known, Murray withdrew from the singles. Lloyd also supported the decision because the 37-year-old veteran finds it difficult to compete with other men's singles at this time.

Moreover, Murray has just had back surgery after suffering an injury two weeks ago at Queen's Championship 2024.

"You know how serious he (Murray) is in response to that. He will tell Emma, we will win this. We are not here just for fun. We will win this. That's how competitive he is."

"It's better than not at all, which is definitely not single. We would love to see the single game (Murray) against some of these great players. It didn't happen."

"At least he will like it. The audience will like it. In both events he will play (men's doubles and mixed doubles), he will think he can win both. That's how he is," said Lloyd.

Andy Murray is set to seriously appear in two doubles at Wimbledon 2024. Emma Raducanu revealed that she doesn't believe the world's former world number one is training like he has never been injured before.

In the men's doubles, Andy Murray will partner with his brother, Jamie Murray.

Meanwhile, Emma Raducanu also appeared in the women's singles number. Currently, she has stepped into the third round to face Maria Sakkari (Yunani).

Previously, the 21-year-old beat Rnata Zarazua (Mexico) and Badminton Mertens (Belgium) in the first and second rounds.
