Andy Murray and Serena Williams’ highly-anticipated partnership in the Wimbledon mixed doubles will begin against Germany’s Andreas Mies and Chile’s Alexa Guarachi.

Britain’s Murray, 32, will play with the American great as he continues his recovery from major hip surgery.

Briton Jay Clarke will partner 15-year-old American Cori Gauff, who beat Venus Williams in the singles.

Jamie Murray and Bethanie Mattek-Sands face GB’s Joe Salisbury and Katy Dunne.

Jamie Murray and the American start on the opposite side of the draw to Andy Murray and Serena Williams, meaning the brothers could only meet in this competition in the final.

Clarke reached the semi-finals with fellow Briton Harriet Dart last year, where they lost to eventual runners-up Jamie Murray and Victoria Azarenka.

He and Gauff face Sweden’s Robert Lindstedt and Latvia’s Jelena Ostapenko.

Another eye-catching partnership sees Venus Williams, a six-time doubles winner at Wimbledon, link up with Frances Tiafoe.

The American pair, in the same half as Andy Murray and Serena Williams, open against British wildcards Scott Clayton and Sarah Beth Grey.

The mixed doubles begins on Thursday, with Murray and Williams expected to play their opening match on Friday.
