I caught them shaking hands. lol I don't think he has a prayer against Djokovic but I guess that's why they play the game.

This should be fun to watch. I hope it's televised.

SAM Stosur and Lleyton Hewitt have been given a wildcard into mixed doubles to raise Australia's hopes of an Olympic tennis medal at Wimbledon.

The duo has been included in a 16-nation field, headed by Belarussian's Victoria Azarenka and Max Mirnyi and Great Britain's Laura Robson and Andy Murray.

Stosur and Hewitt received one of four wildcards.

The other invitations went to Robson and Murray, Russians Elena Vesnina and Mikhail Youzhny and Swede's Sofia Arvidsson and Robert Lindstedt.

The mixed doubles wildcard is some consolation for Hewitt and Chris Guccione being overlooked in doubles.

The draw for the event will take place overnight.
