Murray picks Swiatek as ideal doubles partner as World No.1 has hilarious response

Britain’s tennis star Andy Murray has picked the world number one Iga Swiatek as his preferred mixed doubles partner.

The 36-year-old was one of the participants in a video released by the US Open’s official Twitter account who were asked to pick a partner to play in the mixed doubles event.

While responding to that question, the former world number one named Swiatek.

Both players are taking part in the ongoing US Open in the singles category. The mega-event began earlier on Monday where players from all over the world are participating to showcase their talent.

Swiatek has already won her first-round fixture against Sweden’s Rebecca Peterson in straight sets with a score of 6-0, 6-1 on Monday.

The 22-year-old is defending her crown in the mega-event. She won the competition last year after defeating Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur with a score of 6-2, 7-6.

On the other hand, Murray will face France’s Corentin Moutet in the tournament opener on Tuesday.

The Glasgow-born has a good record while playing at the Flashing Medows where he lifted the title back in 2012 after beating the current world number two Serbia’s legendary tennis player Novak Djokovic in a five-set thrilling finale with a score of 7–6(12–10), 7–5, 2–6, 3–6, 6–2.
