Radacanu pulls out of mixed doubles, meaning the end for Murray at Wimbledon

Andy Murray has played his last match at Wimbledon after Emma Radacanu was forced to pull out of the mixed doubles due to a wrist injury.

Murray and Radacanu were scheduled to play this afternoon against Marcelo Arevalo and Zhang Shuai on Court One but that will not now go ahead.

Radacanu is still in the women’s singles having beaten Maria Sakkari yesterday to cruise into the third round and is likely to play her next match tomorrow. She said: “Unfortunately I woke up with some stiffness in my right wrist, 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.”

The news spells the end for Murray at Wimbledon – and a wonderful chapter in the history of British tennis. The 37-year-old won the trophy twice, ending a 77-year wait for a British winner of the men’s event in 2013.

Having pulled out of the men’s singles after having an operation to remove a cyst close to his spinal cord, Murray played with his brother Jamie in the men’s doubles on Thursday, losing in straight sets to Australian pair John Peers and Rinky Hijikata.

A post-match ceremony which saw him interviewed by the BBC’s Sue Barker – with legends of the game joining them on Centre Court – prompted tears from the former world number one.

Murray still hopes to play at the Paris Olympics having been named in the Great Britain squad.
