Ah, thanks. I realized it minutes after posting when I saw 2 pages of mixed dubs draw. The 2008 draw had just 32 teams. Is this a change only Wimbledon is adapting?

Now that, I don't know.

They're so tradition-bound, that I have a hard time imagining some official thinking "gee, a lot of players want to enter mixed, and we're supposed to have several dry days, so why not just make the draw bigger?" But maybe that's what happened.
