• British No 1 says they have not spoken about mixed doubles
• Murray could turn to Maria Sharapova or Barbara Strycova
Andy Murray’s continuing search for a partner in the mixed doubles at Wimbledon – which is starting to resemble a Tinder quest – took a comic turn on Saturday when Johanna Konta was asked if she had joined the queue, or even been approached. Asked if she had considered “offering her services” to the triple‑slam champion at the All England Club when the championships start on 1 July, she laughed and said: “It makes me sound like a hooker.”
She added: “I haven’t really given it any thought. He has had some offers and some have said ‘no’. I just assume that is because they are focusing on different things. He hasn’t asked me yet so I’ve not thought about it. I’d have to speak to my coaches because I haven’t thought about mixed doubles, so I don’t know.”
