However, Jankovic - who won the title with Murray last year - has decided not to risk her fitness in the event after injuring her arm at the French Open, leaving Huber free to play with the Scot.

"It would have been okay with me - there are other guys I could play with - but I kind of assumed we would play the whole year," said Durban-born Huber, who reached the semi-finals of the US Open with Murray.

"I think we are a team that should win titles. Unfortunately, we drew strong opponents at the French Open but he's a great player and should be a contender at all tournaments."

Huber, who won last year's Wimbledon women's doubles title with Caro Black, said her partnership with Murray was the result of a chance conversation in the men's locker room at Flushing Meadow between Murray and Black's husband Brett Stevens.

"I had played with Kevin Ullyett before but I was looking for somebody else and Jamie asked Caro's husband if I had a partner," she said.

"I had never met him before, I didn't even know he was left-handed when we went on court."

Murray added: "Jelena's having problems with her arm and will just concentrate on the singles at Wimbledon.

"It would have been good to defend the title but it is not the end of the world. I half-expected it."
