WIMBLEDON 2024 UPDATES: LIVE SCORES AS RAIN DELAYS START BEFORE ANDY MURRAY AND EMMA RADUCANU PLAY DOUBLES

LIVE – Updated at 11:11

Andy Murray and Emma Raducanu team up in the Wimbledon mixed doubles this evening in what could be the two-time singles champion’s final ever match at the All England Club. Murray asked Raducanu to be his mixed doubles partner on the 37-year-old Wimbledon farewell, in a special pairing of Britain’s two active grand slam champions.

Murray was beaten in the men’s doubles alongside brother Jamie on Thursday night, before an emotional ceremony on Centre Court commemorated the end of his singles career. The mixed doubles with Raducanu offers Murray an another opportunity to wave farewell to Wimbledon ahead of retiring at the Olympics next month.

Raducanu breezed into the fourth round of the singles with an impressive victory over No.9 seed Maria Sakkari yesterday. Harriet Dart will look to join her on a packed day of action, following her win over British No 1 Katie Boulter on Thursday. Cameron Norrie takes on the fourth seed Alexander Zverev on Centre Court following his victory over Jack Draper.

Wimbledon 2024: Emma Raducanu on impressive display

11:00 , Jamie Braidwood

Emma Raducanu saved all seven break points against Maria Sakkari yesterday, saving them with aces and forehand winners. She said:

“I think naturally that’s always been one of my big strengths, is the big points. I step up and I thrive and I love the challenge and trying to overcome it.

“I think that’s something I did since a young age, very much so. I think in the last couple years, I don’t think I was playing those big points in the same way. Like, I wasn’t as aggressive. I was more passive.

“I think I’m playing such a top opponent like Maria, she’s not going to give me the match or give me an error. I know I have to go for it. Anyone at this level of the tournament is the same.

“You just have to take the opportunities while you have them.”

10:45 , Jamie Braidwood

Emma Raducanu, who is into the fourth round of the singles, said it is an “honour” to be asked to play with Murray at Wimbledon and said she made the decision to accept his proposal within “10 seconds”.

“For me, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” Raducanu said. “I think some things are bigger than just tennis.

“I think some things are a once-in-a-lifetime memory that you’re going to have for the rest of your life. To play at Wimbledon with Andy Murray, those things don’t come by.

“At the end of my life, at the end of my career when I’m like 70 years old, I know I’m going to have that memory of playing Wimbledon with Andy Murray on a home slam.

“For me, yeah, it was an honor to be asked.”

Nick Kyrgios was so impressed with Cameron Norrie’s statement win over new British number one Jack Draper he posed the question: “Can Norrie win Wimbledon?”

Former finalist Kyrgios was commentating for the BBC as Norrie confidently beat his compatriot, who overtook him to become the country’s top-ranked man last month, 7-6 (3) 6-4 7-6 (6).

Norrie said: “I love that from Nick. Yeah, he has a good eye for tennis. Hopefully he saw that I was playing well today.

“I was happy with the way I was playing. Nick was happy with the way I was playing. That means a lot from him.”

Harriet Dart: Wimbledon run means more than anything for me

10:15 , Jamie Braidwood

Harriet Dart is looking to break new ground by reaching the fourth round of a grand slam for the first time after one of the most emotional victories of her career.

The 27-year-old had not beaten her long-time rival Katie Boulter for six years ahead of their second-round clash at Wimbledon on Thursday, which turned into a three-hour melodrama.

Dart led 4-2 in the deciding set but was in tears at the back of the court after trailing 6-2 in the final tie-break before fighting back to triumph.

She is back on court today against China’s Xinyu Wang, who scored the biggest win of her career in the previous round against fifth seed Jessica Pegula.

Wimbledon 2024: Raducanu having fun after impressive win

10:00 , Jamie Braidwood

Emma Raducanu after beating Maria Sakkari to reach the Wimbledon fourth round: “I think today is really up there with the most fun I’ve had on a tennis court.

“I really enjoyed it. I think I was just telling myself: ‘How many times in life are you gonna get the chance to play in front of a full Centre Court?’

“I think I’m most proud of how I was just so focused. She’s top 10, so in a way I came in with a free swing.

“You kind of have to play every point as if it’s your last, not to be dramatic!

“[It’s about] having your inner passion, and I think now, win or lose, I’m just trying to win the day: Different days mean, different things. Give it your best, even though it’s maybe [always] not the best quality.”

On playing mixed doubles with Andy Murray: “I think I’ll just follow his lead, I think I’ll need to do a crash course in doubles tonight!”

Sonay Kartal’s impressive Wimbledon run ended by world number two Coco Gauff

Sonay Kartal’s impressive Wimbledon campaign ended in the third round after a straight-sets loss to US Open champion Coco Gauff.

World number 298 Kartal only won three games at the All England Club last year but managed more than that against Gauff and even broke the American in the first set on Court One.

Kartal held her own in several long rallies before Gauff eventually proved too strong with a 6-4 6-0 victory, but the British number nine could be proud of her week’s work in SW19, which has pocketed her £143,000 in prize money and memories to last a lifetime.

The joy of Carlos Alcaraz and Frances Tiafoe shows the very best of Wimbledon

The bare facts are that Carlos Alcaraz is through to the fourth round of Wimbledon and Frances Tiafoe is not, but that does not begin to explain the theatre that unfolded under Centre Court’s closed roof. The crowd hung on every ball in a match soundtracked by gasps and hollers, as the third and 29th seeds put on a show. Grown adults who, three hours earlier, had never seen Tiafoe hold a tennis racket found themselves roaring “Get him, Frances!” with both lungs, veins popping from their neck, urging the American to push the reigning champion further and further.

He did, forcing Alcaraz to dig into his reserves of energy and creativity, but Alcaraz reminded everyone just how deep they run, dominating the fifth set to win 5-7, 6-2, 4-6, 7-6(2), 6-2.

Emma Raducanu works her spell on Maria Sakkari to continue stunning Wimbledon run

As Emma Raducanu hoisted up a backhand lob on the run that almost brushed the rafters on Centre Court, the Wimbledon crowd held their breath as the ball began its descent. Raducanu had managed to strike first against Maria Sakkari but found as much momentum in her efforts to deny the Greek ninth seed, rewarded for her attacking intent on break points.

This defensive lob, though, on the stretch, felt a step too far, but as it dropped inside the baseline and Centre Court erupted it became the moment that encapsulated this stunning 6-2 6-3 win. Raducanu is bringing the magic of New York to Wimbledon.

Good morning

09:00 , Jamie Braidwood

Andy Murray and Emma Raducanu get their doubles act underway on Saturday, while Novak Djokovic and Iga Swiatek are in action and Britain’s Harriet Dart looks to reach the fourth round of the Championships.

Murray and Raducanu have teamed up for a sensational pairing of Britain’s two active grand slam champions in the mixed doubles, in what could be Murray’s final match at Wimbledon following his defeat in the men’s doubles with brother Jamie.

Djokovic, having survived a scare against the British wildcard Jacob Fearnley in the second round, now takes on the Alexei Popyrin, who pushed the 24-time grand slam champion to four sets at the Australian Open at the start of the year.

World No 1 Swiatek is warming up nicely at Wimbledon having reached the quarter-finals last year and takes on Yulia Putintseva, who won the Birmingham title on grass last month.

Dart became the third Briton to reach the third round when she defeated compatriot Katie Boulter in three sets and now takes on China’s Xinyu Wang, who scored the biggest win of her career in the previous round against fifth seed Jessica Pegula.
