Andy Murray’s mum blasts Emma Raducanu for ruining son’s last Wimbledon | Tennis | Sport
Andy Murray’s mum Judy claimed that it was “astonishing” for Emma Raducanu to pull out of Wimbledon mixed doubles with her son, just hours before what could have been the two-time SW19 champion’s final match ever at the tournament.
Raducanu, who reached the fourth round of singles on Friday, cited soreness in her wrist in a statement the following day as Murray’s final appearance was cancelled.
A statement from the Raducanu camp said: “Unfortunately I woke up with some stiffness in my right wrist this morning, so therefore I have decided to make the very tough decision to withdraw from the mixed doubles tonight. I’m disappointed as I was really looking forward to playing with Andy but got to take care.”
The news quickly spread and sports presenter Marcus Buckland reacted on X (formerly known as Twitter) by highlighting that Murray would not get another chance to compete at Wimbledon in the mixed doubles.
“Astonishing news that Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from her mixed doubles match with Andy Murray,” Buckland wrote. “She’s citing soreness in her right wrist. It means Murray has played his last match at Wimbledon. Oh dear!”
In response to Buckland, Murray’s mother Judy replied with: “Yes, astonishing.”
