Emma Raducanu has revealed that she reached out to apologise to Andy Murray over her controversial withdrawal from their mixed doubles partnership in the Scot’s final Wimbledon last year. ‘I didn’t want any bad blood or harsh feelings,’ she said, before adding with a smile: ‘I hope he doesn’t hate me too much!’.

On the morning of their first match together at Wimbledon Raducanu pulled out, citing the need to protect a sore wrist ahead of her fourth-round singles match. That unleashed a wave of social media criticism - including from Murray’s mother Judy, who described the decision as ‘astonishing’.

The subject came up here in Melbourne after Raducanu reached the third round of the Australian Open for the first time, and she said: ‘Afterwards I sent him a long message apologising if I caused any trouble at Wimbledon, that's definitely the last thing I want.

‘He's someone I've grown up looking up to and I don't want any bad blood or harsh feelings with him. I sent him a long message and he took it really well and responded saying he was disappointed but he understood. We're fine now. We walk past each other and say “hello”, “well done”.’.
