Andy Murray's Wimbledon career has come to an end after Emma Raducanu withdrew from their mixed doubles match due to a wrist injury. The withdrawal, which was announced just hours before the match, marked the end of Murray's participation at Wimbledon. Raducanu, who had to prioritize her singles matches, faced criticism for her decision but defended it by emphasizing the need to prioritize her health. Judy Murray, Andy's mother, clarified that her social media post about the withdrawal was meant as sarcasm. Despite the controversy, Raducanu proceeded to play her fourth-round singles match against qualifier Lulu Sun. Sun, a New Zealand-born, Swiss-raised player ranked 123rd, defeated Raducanu in a three-set match, advancing to her first Wimbledon quarterfinal. The match ended with scores of 6-2, 5-7, 6-2 in favor of Sun, who delivered an impressive performance to secure her spot in the next round.
