Emma Raducanu breaks silence on decision that ended relationship with....

decision to withdraw from her Wimbledon mixed-doubles match with Andy Murray after exiting the singles tournament following a three-set defeat to qualifier Lulu Sun.

Raducanu woke up with a stiff wrist on Saturday and informed Murray that she would be prioritising her involvement in the singles, even though it denied the two-time champion a final match at the All England Club.

The former US Open champion admitted that she did not expect to reach the fourth round of Wimbledon and said it was a “no-brainer” to prioritise her fitness over allowing Murray a final farewell.

I don’t think it was a mistake because I was feeling fine, then yesterday morning just woke up with stiffness,” Raducanu said. “I have to prioritise myself, my singles and my body.

“I didn’t want to take his last match away from him. But at the end of the day I think a lot of the players in a similar situation would have done the same thing, prioritising their body. I still stand by making the right call.

“He was obviously disappointed because it’s his last match [at Wimbledon]. But what a champion. I think that hopefully he’ll play in the Olympics and have another farewell there.
