Daniel Evans and Andy Murray are among the doubles teams that received a wild card into Roland Garros on Wednesday.
The Britons have competed together twice before, reaching the second round at the 2017 BNP Paribas Open and last year’s Mubadala Citi DC Open in Washington.
This will be Murray’s second appearance in a Grand Slam doubles draw since the 2008 US Open. He last competed in doubles at a major at Wimbledon in 2019 with Pierre-Hugues Herbert.
The No. 345 player in the PIF ATP Doubles Rankings, Murray played doubles this year in Brisbane (with Holger Rune) and Miami (with Sebastian Korda). Evans has also played two doubles tournaments this year, in Los Cabos (with Jack Draper) and Acapulco (with Henry Patten).
The six other teams that received wild cards into Roland Garros are all-French duos. Quentin Halys/Nicolas Mahut, Gregoire Barrere/Lucas Pouille, Richard Gasquet/Hugo Gaston, Dan Added/Theo Arribage, Alexandre Muller/Luca Sanchez and Titouan Droguet/Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard will all compete in the clay-court major.
Roland Garros will be played from 26 May-9 June.
