Murray ‘feels good’ after reaching doubles final

Jamie Murray is within sight of a second successive Wimbledon mixed doubles title after reaching the final with Victoria Azarenka.

Murray, who was paired with Martina Hingis last year, teamed up with new partner Azarenka to see off British youngsters Jay Clarke and Harriet Dart 6-2 6-2 on Court One.

They will face Alexander Peya and Nicole Melichar in the final tomorrow.

Defeat for 19-year-old Clarke and 21-year-old Dart ends one of the stories of the championships from a home point of view as they had never played together before.

They defeated the top seeds on the way to the last four and bow out with their heads held high.

But Murray and Azarenka were too good for them and won the match in the same time it took John Isner and Kevin Anderson to move from 9-9 to 14-14 in the final set of the marathon men’s semi-final on Centre Court.

“It is brilliant, we are really excited to be in the final. We played a really good match from start to finish,” Murray said.

“We didn’t give them a chance and it feels really good.”

Jack Draper is one win away from becoming the first British boys’ champion at Wimbledon for more than half a century after an epic semifinal victory over Colombia’s Nicolas Mejia.

Draper finally prevailed 7-6 (7/5) 6-7 (6/8) 19-17 after four hours and 23 minutes on his 10th match point

He will face top seed Tseng Chun-hsin in the final tomorrow.

Jamie Murray and Victoria Azarenka are through to the mixed doubles final.
