A statement read: “Unfortunately I woke up with some stiffness in my right wrist this morning, so therefore I have decided to make the very tough decision to withdraw from the mixed doubles tonight.

“I’m disappointed as I was really looking forward to playing with Andy but got to take care.”

Raducanu has reached the fourth round of the women’s singles at Wimbledon, where she will play qualifier Lulu Sun on Sunday.

Murray won the singles championships at Wimbledon in 2013 and 2016 and was the first British man to triumph in singles at the competition in 77 years.

A feat that has solidified him as one of Scotland's most celebrated athletes.
