The Hyundai Hopman Cup today announced that World Number 4 Andy Murray will
partner Laura Robson for Great Britain at January’s ITF International Mixed
Teams Championship in Perth. Murray joins World Number 2 Novak Djokovic
headlining an impressive array of tennis talent that also includes the two
greatest female players of the modern era, Serena Williams and Justine Henin.
Murray had this to say, "I'm looking forward to going back to the Hopman Cup.
For me, it was a good start to the year and we went pretty close to winning.
I look forward to playing with Laura once again".
Murray and Robson competed in last year’s Hopman where they went all the way
to the Final, losing to an inspired Spain. Murray was in outstanding form
throughout the week and delighted the Perth crowd and audiences back home in
the UK with his majestic play. He continued this impressive form in
Melbourne, notching a brilliant semi-final victory over World Number 1 Rafael
Nadal at the Australian Open before a gallant defeat in his second Grand Slam
Final by Roger Federer.
Robson, at only 15 years, was also enchanting and her singles victory in the
Final displayed the poise that has carried her to a Junior Wimbledon title
and her second successive Final appearance at the 2010 Junior Australian
Open. Robson also partnered Australian Sally Peers in the doubles at the
2010 Australian Open where they reached the quarterfinal.
Tournament Director, Paul McNamee, said, "Andy Murray is a rare talent so we
are delighted he is coming back. His racquet work last year was a joy to
watch. Laura continues to develop and get better..... they have a real
chance once again".
The eight teams competing in the 2011 Hyundai Hopman Cup are:
USA - Serena Williams and John Isner
Belgium – Justine Henin and Steve Darcis
Serbia – Ana Ivanovic and Novak Djokovic
France – Kristina Mladenovic and Gael Monfils
Kazakhstan – Yaroslava Shvedova and Andrey Golubev
