Andy Murray is said to be ‘absolutely devastated’ after his Wimbledon career was brought to an end after his mixed doubles partner Emma Raducanu pulled out of their match.
The British tennis legend had intended to play his last matches at the tournament with the 21-year-old English star in a celebratory climax to his stunning career, but won’t make it onto the court after Raducanu withdrew today citing ‘stiffness in her wrist’.
The 37-year-old had been forced to bow out of the singles on Monday with a back injury to the heartbreak of British fans, before losing alongside his brother Jamie in the first round of the men’s doubles, sparking a tearful post-match interview in which he admitted it was ‘too tough’ for him to continue playing.
He had hoped for some form of redemption by taking part in the mixed doubles with Raducanu – who previously said it was a ‘dream’ to partner up with him – before the shock announcement.
The move, which was revealed this afternoon, sparked a response from Murray’s mother, Judy, who remarked on social media that the decision was ‘astonishing’. In a statement Raducanu had 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.
