Andy Murray denied one final payday after Emma Raducanu's forced to end Wimbledon career

Andy Murray has played his final Wimbledon without getting one last payday. The tennis legend won’t feature again at this year’s tournament after Emma Raducanu pulled out of their mixed doubles opener.

Raducanu, who’s looked back to her best in reaching the last 16 of the women’s singles, announced her decision on Saturday afternoon after waking up with stiffness in her right wrist. It’s brought about an unfortunate ending to Murray’s SW19 career.

It means his men’s doubles defeat alongside brother Jamie in their first round match on Thursday will be his last at the All England Club. He and Raducanu were entered into the mixed competition as a wildcard in the week.

They were set to compete for the top sum of £130,000, which the winners receive. That potential six-figure payday has now fallen by the wayside, along with the possible prize money he lost out on after having to withdraw himself from the men’s singles.

That was a much bigger loss, with even those falling at the first hurdle getting £60k. Progression to the second, third and fourth rounds is worth £93k, £143k and £226k respectively.

The quarter-finalists earn £375k, while the final four guarantee themselves £715k. Finishing runner-up banks you £1.4million, with the winner receiving £2.7m - an increase on the £1.6m Murray got for his 2013 triumph and the £2m payout for his 2016 victory.

Murray wasn’t expected to achieve much given his back injury, and with an estimated fortune of $100m (£85m) to his name, according to Celebrity Net Worth, those figures pale in comparison.

He and Jamie will have split the £15,750 that both the men’s and women’s doubles get for participating in the first round. They were beat 7-6, 6-4 by Australian pair Rinky Hijikata and John Peers.

Murray’s premature Wimbledon farewell hasn’t gone down well with their mum Judy. She labelled the situation surrounding Raducanu as “astonishing”.
