British tennis star Emma Raducanu seemingly took a playful jab at Judy Murray, mother of fellow tennis player Andy Murray, after a recent mixed doubles request.
The incident follows a controversy at Wimbledon earlier this month, where Raducanu withdrew from her mixed doubles match with Andy Murray due to wrist stiffness. This withdrawal, which would have marked Murray’s final match at Wimbledon, led to Judy Murray expressing her surprise on social media, calling it “astonishing.” Judy later clarified that her comment was directed at the scheduling of the match, which took place the evening before Raducanu’s singles match the next morning.
Raducanu, who typically avoids social media during tournaments, has now responded humorously to the situation. After Frances Tiafoe publicly suggested partnering with her for mixed doubles, Raducanu replied with the word “astonishing,” accompanied by a laughing emoji.
This lighthearted exchange suggests Raducanu is addressing the earlier controversy in a playful manner as she continues her competitive journey at the Citi Open.
