Wednesday’s session at Wimbledon was again marred by rain from the start. More than an hour’s delay was enough time for the tournament to drop one of the day’s bombshells, especially at the local level.
Wimbledon announced the first wild card for mixed doubles, which still has no list of participants. Always eagerly awaited for the pairings that may occur.

Other duos that would be talked about, as they are also on a personal level, are the new world number 1, the Italian Jannik Sinner, and the Russian Anna Kalinskaya. They are a recent couple. The British couple is older than the one Katie Boulter and the Australian Alex de Minaur.
