I think this is poor from Raducanu but Wimbledon could have sorted this as well by putting them on an outside court earlier in the day. She's hinting she'd have played then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 12 hours ago, roman_bairn said: If it had been Serena Williams for example, there’s no way she would have withdrawn in the same circumstances…… That's completely wrong as Serena has pulled doubles with her sister on occasion to ensure she has recovered effectively for singles competition. I think Murray is the only person I can think of that pulled singles to play doubles when he elected to skip the Olympic singles to concentrate on doubles. Wrist injuries have killed so many promising careers, so she has to look after herself. Del Potro and Thiem never recovered, and rushed into comebacks. Murray will have his swan song at the Olympics, he is in the singles and doubles there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It pished rain all day anyway so even if they had they still wouldn't have been playing until 5pm ish anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 The only blame I’d place on Raducanu is for agreeing to play the doubles with Andy in the first place. If anything, I blame Andy. The way his ‘farewell’ has been handled has been painful to watch. The guy owed us nothing, to even come back from his surgeries to play at anything even aporoaching a high level was an achievement. IMHO, the whole thing with Jamie was organised as the farewell. Why else was Sue Barker, the tribute video, the stars like Djokovic trotted out if he was still due to play again at Wimbledon in the mixed? I reckon Raducanu would have played, had she been knocked out of the singles. However, still in the singles, and seeing Andy hirple his way through the doubles, looking half the player he used to be, don’t blame her. Andy had his centre court send off, it went well, tear to the eye stuff… Fcuking chuck it Andy, don’t drag it out any longer.

I rescind that, as doubles match first on was completed by 3pm with the rain delays. Still might not have helped but wasn't as bad as i made out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JS_FFC Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 15 hours ago, Todd_is_God said: In any case, a mixed doubles match really wouldn't have been the Wimbledon farewell Murray had in mind. It'll make little difference to him in the long run. I do wonder if he'll enter the US Open now though, to get that farewell singles match that actually will mean something to him. He’s never ruled out the US Open has he? He said he won’t play on “much past” the Olympics which doesn’t necessarily mean he’s chucking it immediately after the Olympics. The US open is just a few weeks later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 The difference with the US Open swing, his ranking is so low now that he’d need a wild card for every single event he wants to enter. The US Open has reciprocal agreements with the French Open and Australian Open that they will get a wild card each. That leaves six, I am sure they would give him one if he requests it. But if he’s not going to play any tennis on hard court before it, he’s a walking bye. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure if he was going to play the US open he’d consider playing a few challengers or tour events on hard court beforehand. I’m not sure that’s a great idea though because if he does play, it’s purely as one last goodbye rather than with any expectation of doing well, and with that in mind surely the risk of getting injured playing a challenger is higher than any benefit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, I blame Andy. Very much this. The criticism of Raducanu is ridiculous. She's had 3 years of injury nightmare, just one awful thing after another. She skipped the French Open to improve her chances of surviving the grass season. She's finally having a good run in a slam, and has played a relatively high amount of tennis to get to this point. It's incredibly unfair to expect her to risk her health for a nothing match. Andy knew all this when they agreed to play together, he must have known there was a pretty high chance she'd pull out or be injured. Someone like Katie Boulter would have been a better bet. Or for maximum lols, Mirra Andreeva went out in the first round and she seems like a fan of his. Raducanu wasn't a good choice at all and I was surprised when it was announced.
