Wimbledon: Emma Raducanu on why she ‘couldn’t say no’ to playing mixed doubles with Andy Murray

Andy Murray and Emma Raducanu team up in the Wimbledon mixed doubles this evening in what could be the two-time singles champion’s final ever match at the All England Club. Murray asked Raducanu to be his mixed doubles partner on the 37-year-old Wimbledon farewell, in a special pairing of Britain’s two active grand slam champions.

Murray was beaten in the men’s doubles alongside brother Jamie on Thursday night, before an emotional ceremony on Centre Court commemorated the end of his singles career. The mixed doubles with Raducanu offers Murray an another opportunity to wave farewell to Wimbledon ahead of retiring at the Olympics next month.

Raducanu breezed into the fourth round of the singles with an impressive victory over No.9 seed Maria Sakkari yesterday. Harriet Dart will look to join her on a packed day of action, following her win over British No 1 Katie Boulter on Thursday. Cameron Norrie takes on the fourth seed Alexander Zverev on Centre Court following his victory over Jack Draper.

Yesterday at Wimbledon

Emma Raducanu works her spell on Maria Sakkari to continue stunning Wimbledon run

As Emma Raducanu hoisted up a backhand lob on the run that almost brushed the rafters on Centre Court, the Wimbledon crowd held their breath as the ball began its descent. Raducanu had managed to strike first against Maria Sakkari but found as much momentum in her efforts to deny the Greek ninth seed, rewarded for her attacking intent on break points.

This defensive lob, though, on the stretch, felt a step too far, but as it dropped inside the baseline and Centre Court erupted it became the moment that encapsulated this stunning 6-2 6-3 win. Raducanu is bringing the magic of New York to Wimbledon.

When will Andy Murray and Emma Raducanu play doubles?

Murray and Raducanu’s match has been scheduled fourth on Court One. It will follow the men’s singles match between Ben Shelton and Denis Shapovalov, which was stopped at 3-2 in the first set, and then two women’s singles matches between Iga Swiatek and Yulia Putintseva and Elena Rybakina and Caroline Wozniacki.

With play on Court One starting at 1pm, Murray and Raducanu’s match is unlikely to start until 7pm at the earliest, although it could be later if the men’s match goes long.

Good morning

World No 1 Swiatek is warming up nicely at Wimbledon having reached the quarter-finals last year and takes on Yulia Putintseva, who won the Birmingham title on grass last month.

Dart became the third Briton to reach the third round when she defeated compatriot Katie Boulter in three sets and now takes on China’s Xinyu Wang, who scored the biggest win of her career in the previous round against fifth seed Jessica Pegula.
