Judy Murray described Emma
Raducanu's withdrawal from the Wimbledon mixed doubles draw as 'astonishing'.
The 2021 US Open champion had confirmed her participation alongside the former
world No. 1 in what would have been a spectacle for the local audience in
Murray's final match at SW19.
Raducanu has had a notable
singles career. She has already reached the Round of 16 in the tournament,
following three straight-set victories, including wins over players like Elise
Mertens and Maria Sakkari along the way.
Judy Murray slams Raducanu
Raducanu's team issued a
statement this Saturday announcing that due to physical discomfort, the
21-year-old will not be able to participate in the anticipated doubles:
"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."
Shortly after, sports
presenter Marcus Buckland expressed regret that this marks the end of Murray's
Wimbledon journey and he won't be able to take to the court again at the All
England Club: "Astonishing news that Emma Raducanu has withdrawn from her
mixed doubles match with Andy Murray," Buckland tweeted.
"She's citing soreness in
her right wrist. It means Murray has played his last match at Wimbledon. Oh
dear!" reports the Express. To which Judy Murray responded with a succinct
and telling: "Yes, astonishing."

- Williams' PR person (or people) is feeding all this crap to suckers online who will publish it... and read it. Although I got a chuckle when I read the lie about her having a "grapefruit" sized cyst in her neck. Somebody might want to find out where she's buying her fruit and tell the owner to stop telling her wine grapes are not Grapefruits!!

Let 'em have it. Of course, the best protection is to spend little or no time on anti-Social Media.mandoist21-10-2024
- I think opinions about tennis are interesting. Sometimes I agree, sometimes I do not. I have more problems with articles about Serena Williams going to a party or Federer visiting a football match 😀
