The Times - Emma Raducanu ‘gave Andy Murray’s team a different reason for Wimbledon withdrawal’
h ttps://www.thetimes.com/uk/scotland/article/emma-raducanu-reason-wimbledon-andy-murray-mixed-doubles-txbjrvxd0
Andy Murray’s team were given a different reason for Emma Raducanu’s withdrawal from Wimbledon’s mixed doubles from the excuse given in her public statement, sources have claimed.
The game, which had been due to take place on Saturday night, was to have been Murray’s final appearance at the tournament.
It is understood that Raducanu, the US Open winner and British Women’s No 3, told the Murray camp on Friday evening that she was pulling out of the event but she gave a different reason to the one shared in a public statement via her agent on Saturday.
Sources close to the Murray camp told The Times on Sunday: “The surprise was more to do with the explanation given publicly and less about the withdrawal itself.”

Nick Kyrgios slams BBC colleague Andrew Castle for ‘disrespect’
Nick Kyrgios, the controversial Australian former player turned Wimbledon commentator, has taken aim at his BBC colleague Andrew Castle’s commentary saying that it showed he had “never played tennis at a high level”.
Kyrgios said that it was “disrespectful” of Castle to criticise the standard of play in Taylor Fritz’s fourth-round victory over Alexander Zverev.
Castle, a former British No 1 who has led the BBC’s Wimbledon commentary team for two decades, said of the match: “You can’t say it’s been the most captivating tennis, to be frank.”
Minutes later, Kyrgios, 29, who joined the BBC team this year, wrote on Twitter/X: “‘Not captivating’ — was a comment from a commentator who is doing the Zverev & Fritz match.
“This alone tells me that they have probably never played tennis at a high level. Two of the most elite servers we have. Quite disrespectful. C’mon be better.”
.......
During last year’s men’s singles final at Wimbledon between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic, Kyrgios also called Castle a “clown” and accused him of “spoiling the match big time”.
....
On the British Tennis Fans Facebook group Castle was described by one of its 6,000 members as the “Hello! magazine of commentary” and was “utterly useless, pointless and irrelevant to tennis,” while another said that he was “the man who’ll dredge up absolutely anything so he can never stop talking”.
