Says it all for me really….. In fairness to Raducanu, she has a last 16 singles match tomorrow. I doubt she's arsed enough about the mixed doubles to jeopardise her chances in that if she's not 100% 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any minor niggle? This was her a year ago. Give her a break. It’s exactly why they did the big farewell the other night rather than leave it until today incase this happened. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Considering the issues with Emma’s wrists, she’s wise to rest it. It brings an end to Andy’s Wimbledon career, but he more than most will understand playing with a slight injury isn’t good for your long term health. Andy would make the exact same decision if the roles were reversed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Yeah no surprise to see Emma pull out of Andy’s testimonial when she’s still in the singles draw. Priorities and all that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Simao Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 This was always likely to happen if Raducanu made the second week. It’s a shame he can’t change partners at the last minute, he probably should have asked one of the lower ranked British players or Mirra Andreeva instead since she was knocked out in the first round and Andy is her idol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which they obviously already knew there was a chance of and that was why they did the big farewell the other night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have teamed up with Heather Watson to get her out of the huff she has been in since 2012 when he opted to play with Laura Robson in the Olympics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that he was a regular in the Davis Cup when he was needed for GB I’m struggling to understand this one. And given that Raducanu was so glowing in the press re how honoured to play with Andy in such a significant farewell, i personally find her behaviour outrageous here. She simply could have turned down the opportunity given how important the singles appear to be to her. Pretty sure if he’d been able to ask Dart or Boulter, and they were in the same position we would not have seen the same outcome considering it’s a farewell for a legend of the game, and a reasonable chance to also win a major doubles title too…..

Lex Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 She was expecting to be out the singles, she isn’t. She’s not risking a run in the singles for a glorified exhibition mixed doubles match, and rightly so. If the shoe was on the other foot and Raducanu was out the ladies and Andy was heading into the second week of the gents singles you can bet your life he wouldn’t be playing any mixed doubles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Perhaps Murray chose radacanu as he thought she was the best partner even if that came with increased risk of her dropping out. Regardless it's not her responsibility to make sure Murray gets a nice farewell, she has made a decision that happens at every single grand slam where players end up making decisions based of priority events. Wimbledon is a sports competition and the athletes will make decisions for themselves. It's not like she's refused to turn up to his retirement dinner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing too deep. But he entered the singles this year and, despite being extremely unlikely to play, didn't withdraw until the last minute. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
