Emma Raducanu commented on her refusal to play mixed doubles with Andy Murray at Wimbledon.
They were removed due to discomfort in the British woman`s right wrist. The next day, she lost to Lulu Sun in the fourth round of singles.
I have to put myself, my singles performance and my body first. I think this was the right decision. Yes, it was definitely not easy to accept because I always wanted to [play with Andy]. And, of course, I didn`t want to take away his last match. But at the end of the day, I think a lot of players in a similar situation would do the same thing and put their bodies first.
People have a right to an opinion. Of course, this decision caused a reaction. But in this sport, we as individual athletes have to make our own decisions and put ourselves first.
Of course Andy was disappointed because it was his last match. But he is a real champion. I hope he will play at the Olympics and say goodbye there again.
Before the tournament, I didn`t expect to make it to the fourth round. So the solution was obvious. I would love to play. He didn`t ask me: If you`re still in the singles bracket, will you play? No such question was asked. Given my condition on [Saturday] morning, the decision was obvious.
