Wimbledon 2024 updates: Live score for Carlos Alcaraz vs Frances Tiafoe with Emma Raducanu to play later

Emma Raducanu returns to action on Centre Court at Wimbledon after Carlos Alcaraz meets Frances Tiafoe

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

Emma Raducanu returns to action on Centre Court today at Wimbledon when she faces the world No 9 Maria Sakkari, while her old junior rival Sonay Kartal, 22, takes on second seed Coco Gauff. Raducanu has produced some of her best tennis for some time and is looking to reach the fourth round of Wimbledon for the second time in her career.

First on Centre Court, Carlos Alcaraz meets Frances Tiafoe, before Jannik Sinner rounds off the day’s play on Centre against Serbia’s Miomir Kecmanovic. Alcaraz and Sinner remain on a collision course for a semi-final clash, but the Spaniard will have to overcome his first major test.

Last night, a tearful Andy Murray was honoured in one of the final moments of his Wimbledon career. The 37-year-old was given a hero’s reception as he began his last appearance alongside his brother Jamie in the men’s doubles but the pair were beaten by Rinky Hijikata and John Peers. Murray still has mixed doubles to come with Raducanu but the All England Club took the opportunity to celebrate his historic career.

Andy Murray’s long farewell begins in tears after fitting Wimbledon ceremony

The result quickly faded from memory, as a standing ovation for the losing team signalled the start of a long farewell. At Wimbledon, Andy Murray stood once again with Sue Barker on Centre Court as the tributes began. There were only a couple of tears this time, 12 years on from that defeat to Roger Federer, 11 years since that historic victory over Novak Djokovic. A defeat alongside brother Jamie in the doubles was followed by a celebration of a career and the cold, crushing realisation that the end is here, the final Wimbledon for a man who for the past 20 years had filled this place with so much heart.

Federer, Djokovic and Rafael Nadal, his fiercest rivals, were there for the final moments, taking part in a video message that paid tribute to the competitor and their admiration for the fighter within. Venus Williams highlighted Murray’s support and advocacy of women’s tennis, in praise of his character. When it came to his time to speak, Murray’s voice cracked as he thanked the close team of physios and fitness trainers who were with him every step of his post-surgery career.

Wimbledon set for rain disruption

Wimbledon is set to be disrupted by heavy rain on Friday as players, fans and ground staff battle the elements.

The UK’s summer has barely got off the ground and the tennis at SW19 has been affected this week by spells of rain and blustery winds.

British No 1 Katie Boulter hit more than 70 unforced errors in a wayward display on Thursday and admitted the conditions were tough. “It was pretty windy. It just didn’t come off the racket today ... And I don’t know whether it’s down to wind or just a bit of everything. I’m not entirely sure, but I am human.”

And while there will be more wind on Friday, it is the rain that is expected to cause problems for players and organisers at the All England Club.
