American Venus Williams to pair with Nick Kyrgios

LONDON: American Venus Williams will team up with Australian Nick Kyrgios to play the mixed doubles at Wimbledon, starting on Monday.

Winner of 13 Grand Slam titles in singles, doubles and mixed, the 41-year-old Venus is the winner of five Wimbledon singles titles, with the last coming in 2008.

If the Venus-Kyrgios pair clicks at Wimbledon this year, it will be after a gap of 23 years that the American will lift the mixed doubles trophy after she won the last of her two Grand Slam titles in the event at the French Open in 1998.

Venus's previous best in mixed doubles at Wimbledon has been a runners-up finish in 2006. IANS
