Emma Raducanu returns to action at Wimbledon as she bids for the quarter-finals, after her decision to withdraw from the mixed doubles brought Andy Murray’s career at SW19 to an abrupt end.
Citing soreness in her right wrist, Raducanu prioritised her fitness for the singles as she bids to reach the quarter-finals of Wimbledon for the first time. After her storming win over Maria Sakkari, the Briton takes on qualifier Lulu Sun, the world no 123.
Raducanu is the last Briton standing in the singles draw after defeats for Cameron Norrie and Harriet Dart yesterday. She will take to Centre Court following Carlos Alcaraz, who faces Ugo Humbert, before Coco Gauff aims to reach her first Wimbledon quarter-final against Emma Navarro.
There was a shock yesterday as world No 1 Iga Swiatek was knocked out of Wimbledon by Yulia Putintseva, while Novak Djokovic recovered from a set down to reach the fourth round. After Raducanu’s decision to pull out of the mixed doubles, Murray has now played his final-ever match at the All England Club.

Wimbledon 2024: Play about to begin
The rain has stopped and the sun is peeking through the clouds, so not only are we about to get underway on Court 1 but the outside courts are also being prepped.
It could be a tennis bonanza very shortly.

Wimbledon 2024: Emma Raducanu preparing for fourth-round clash
The big game today, from a British point of view, is of course Emma Raducanu taking on New Zealand qualifier Lulu Sun with a quarter-final place at stake. That’s the second match on Centre Court today after Carlos Alcaraz v Ugo Humbert first up from 1.30pm.
Raducanu has arrived at SW19 and hit the practice court, seemingly in good spirits as she brushes off the minor controversy of her withdrawal from the mixed doubles, meaning Andy Murray won’t get a swansong in that event.

Wimbledon 2024: The rain is still falling
It’s not heavy but the rain is still falling at Wimbledon, with no sign of play on the outside courts. But the good news is that we’re only about 20 minutes away from play getting underway beneath the roof on Court 1.
French Open finalist Jasmine Paolini and America’s Madison Keys will square off in the first match there.

Wimbledon’s ‘Last 8 Club’ and why winners get free tickets for life
The fourth round of Wimbledon gets underway on Sunday with players knowing they are just one more win away from the quarter-finals of the Championships.
It’s a special stage of the tournament as the second week begins and the contenders for the titles are narrowed down, while there is also more than prize money at stake.
Reaching the quarter-finals of the men’s and women’s singles at the All England Club earns players £375,000, as well as entry into an exclusive Wimbledon group.
Emma Raducanu, Coco Gauff and Ben Shelton are among the players bidding to reach the quarter-finals of Wimbledon and the ‘Last 8 Club’ for the first time today.

Wimbledon 2024: No play before 12pm
It’s looking a little brighter at Wimbledon but still no play before 12:00pm.
Emma Raducanu has played her last two matches under the roof and clearly prefers it.
Centre Court is likely to stay closed today so that’s a boost ahead of facing Lulu Sun.

Harriet Dart expects to lose sleep over heartbreaking Wimbledon defeat
British number two Harriet Dart was braced for a sleepless night after she squandered a huge opportunity to break new ground at Wimbledon following a heartbreaking third-round defeat to Wang Xinyu.
Dart had failed to reach the last 16 of a grand slam since her main-draw debut at the All England Club six years ago, but she negotiated windy conditions and rain delays to move 5-4 up in the second before she sent a simple smash volley into the net at deuce.
It was the closest Dart would get to a match point, with further lapses of concentration in the third set after she raced into a three-game lead bringing her fine run at the Championships to an end with a 2-6 7-5 6-3 loss to Wang.
“I mean, it was a huge opportunity today. I put myself in some situations where I was up and leading,” Dart said.
“Yeah, it was really tough. I mean, to be up in two sets and come away with a loss is pretty heartbreaking, to be honest.”
