Andy Murray is set to make a last-minute decision over whether he plays singles at Wimbledon for a final time after Emma Raducanu overcame tricky lucky loser Renata Zarazua to progress to the second round on her return to the Championships.
Murray is scheduled to face Tomas Machac on Tuesday evening and the two-time champion is set to make a final decision in the morning. After undergoing an operation on a spinal cyst, the 37-year-old wants to “feel the buzz” on Centre Court for one last time and have some “closure” before ending his career.
Earlier, Raducanu progressed to the second round after sealing a 7-6 6-3 victory over lucky loser Zarazua, who replaced Ekaterina Alexandrova in the draw after the Russian 22nd seed was forced to withdraw on the morning of the tournament.
“It was an incredibly difficult match,” Raducanu said. “I’m incredibly happy to be back here. I was nervous, I’m sure everyone could see that in my tennis,” Raducanu said. “But honestly watching the football last night it was winning ugly - it all counts.”
Raducanu was joined in the second round by Britons Lily Miyazaki and Sonay Kartal, who enjoyed a career-best victory over 29th seed Sorana Cirstea. Follow all the latest updates and live scores from Wimbledon below:
