Andy/Emma vs Arevalo/Zhang - 4th on Court 1 - 6.00 -7.00 pm approx

Emma out of doubles because of stiffness in wrist! So, Andy has played his last match at Wimbledon.

Emma has withdrawn from the mixed doubles. Such a shame for Andy (and us)

[cazza99]

Such a shame. Glad they gave him a send off his match with Jamie.

[cazza99]

I did wonder if there was a risk of Emma withdrawing if she won her match on Friday so she had time to recover for her next match on Sunday. There are others who had predicted it.

Ram and Volynets are replacing Andy and Emma in the mixed doubles. Apparently it is against the rules for Andy to find a new pairing.

Disappointing but with the stiffness and scheduling I guess it is understandable. At least Andy got the great send off!

[Sallydaisy]

Can hardly blame Emma for wanting to be careful given that she had both wrists operated on last year.
She's played well so far and will still need all her skill and wits to get past Sun who has a few matches
under her belt having come through Qualies.

Shame for Andy but I personally think that the send off with Jamie on Centre Court, and all the
family there too, was much the best celebration and thank you they could have done. Difficult
to see them getting all those folks together again for today and it would have been a bit of an
anti-climax even if a nice way to give him another 'celebration' on Court 1.

Just hope she doesn't get booed next time she comes on court..... it's possible. Crowds can be unforgiving.

[cazza99]

They are too polite on Centre Court to boo.
