Wimbledon 2024 LIVE: Tennis scores as Jannik Sinner battles past Matteo Berrettini after Emma Raducanu win

Raducanu eased past Elise Mertens on No.1 Court with Carlos Alcaraz also victorious on a rain-hit day at Wimbledon

Wimbledon: Emma Raducanu on why she 'couldn't say no' to playing mixed doubles with Andy Murray

Emma Raducanu produced a stunning victory at Wimbledon, sweeping past Elise Mertens hours after confirming she will play alongside Andy Murray in the mixed doubles. Raducanu dominated the world No 33 and claimed a 6-1 6-2 victory in just 75 minutes to return to the third round of a grand slam for the first time since winning the US Open in 2021.

Murray was forced to pull out of his final singles match at the Championships after ruling that he had not recovered from a back operation in time. The two-time champion will play in the men’s doubles alongside brother Jamie on Thursday but his on-court swansong will continue in the mixed doubles alongside Raducanu, the former US Open champion.

Carlos Alcaraz continued his impressive start to his title defence with a dominant win after an early scare against Australian Aleksandar Vukic. In the final match of the day, world No 1 Jannik Sinner battled past compatriot and former Wimbledon finalist Matteo Berrettini in an epic four-set win, 7-6 (7-3), 7-6 (7-4) 2-6 7-6 (7-4), on Centre Court.
